- I'v just got PovRay raytracer v1.0 and tried to run it under OS/2 2.0 in a
- DOS box. The documentation stated that it would run under OS/2 as long as I
- have the DPMI_MEMORY_LIMIT setting correct. So I gave it 6 megs which is
- 3 megs more than I needed to (it's perfectly safe, suggested from doc).
-
- The program detects the presence of 387 coprocessor chip and loads its own
- emulator if one is not found. But, while the program is looking for a 387,
- OS/2 thinks that the program is trying to access the non-existence chip and
- gives me SYS2237 error (i.e. DosKrnl: NPX error...coprocessor is not installed)
-
- So, I was wondering if there's any way around this problem.
- Is it possible to install a separate emulator and then load the program?
- If so, where can I find a fast and reliable emulator that will run under
- OS/2 Dos box?
-
- thanks.

- How long do those Energizers last anyway?
- I don't know, I have rechargables.
