Sorry, Cotton.  Your message and mine (regarding NIH Image 1.55 on Executor 
1.99k) have just crossed on the way :-)  I'll be looking forward to getting 
next experimental version (possibly 1.99l?) in the near future.

Sure.  Right now I'm running Cricket Graph 1.3.2 on registered version 
Executor 1.99k to check reproducibility of the crashing.

The command line options for Executor/DOS 1.99k are:

    -bpp 8  -nosplash -size 640x480

I use univbe.exe 5.0, since my video card is not fully VESA compliant.

I have already confirmed the reproducibility using Dell Optiplex XM-590
(Pentium/90 w/16 MB RAM, S3-864 video chip w/2 MB video RAM), but
right now I'm just running another machine to write exact directions
to replicate the crashing.  The basic machine specs are 486DX2/66 w/16 
MB memory, CL GD-5426 VLB card w/1MB video RAM, and so on (I often use 
both djgpp itself and apps compiled with djgpp on this machine without 
any problems).  If you need more detailed information regarding my machine 
specs, please let me know.

To replicate the crashing of Cricket Graph 1.3.2, follow the procedures
below (naturally, you have to evoke Cricket Graph first ;-):

1) Input some numerical data onto the spreadsheet named "Untitled Data
   #1", e.g., 1 and 2 for Column 1, 3 and 4 for Column 2.

2) Select area by cricking/dragging Colums 1 and 2.

3) Crick the "Graph" pull-down menu, select graph type (e.g., Line),
   and specify data series for horizontal and vertical axes (e.g., Row 
   Numbers for horizontal axis (in the left box), Colums 1 and 2 for 
   vertical axis (in the right box), then crick "New Plot".

4) You will see a graph window named "Untitled Graph #1".  Immediately
   after this, Cricket Graph and Executor/DOS crashes,  and then the 
   system returns to the DOS prompt level.

If you can't replicate this problem, we'll need further investigation
regarding software/hardware configurations of our machines.

Thanks,
