- I ran into the same problem, and have not been able to get the program to work.
-
- I have the coprocessor emulation enabled (the line in my config.sys file
- reads DEVICE=C:\OS2\MDOS\VNPX.SYS)
-
- There have been a couple messages regarding this in comp.os.os2.misc, but none
- in comp.graphics so I am cross-posting in the hopes that somebody in
- comp.graphics may have already solved this problem and would be willing to
- fill the rest of us in on the secret???
-
- Hope so, I'm lookin' forward to using this puppy...
