- Hi there. My friend is trying to get X up and running on his 386-33,
- with BOCA et4000 board. Whenever he runs clock.exe, his machine reboots!
- He tried the board and monitor on another machine, and this time clock.exe
- locked the machine up tight (needed to reset it). Any ideas what might be
- going wrong?

- clock.exe is (as I understand and use it) a DOS, not a Linux program. So if
- you run it under Linux, there will be some conflicts between clock.exe
- awaiting a real mode environment, and Linux running protected mode - and also
- due to the diff of system calls.
- Use clock.exe under DOGs only (if this is done, you can drop DOS :)
