- Alright, maybe I should have gotten Borland C++, but I have been
- an MSC user since 4.1 days. Now to the problem.
-
- I finally installed 7.0 (what a disk hog).
- I try and run PWB under windows.
- Blam! My screen goes into what appears to be 40 column CGA type
- resolution. I exit PWB. My windows session has funny lines
- throughout.
-
- I exit windows. Get back in. Start a DOS session. Start PWB.
- Amazing. Here it works. What gives ?
-
- The PIF entries look very similar. (Screen stuff is same... don't
- remember specifics right now)
-
- MSC uses -1 entries for XMS... DOS pif has 0 0. Could this be it.
- I'll have to experiment some more.
-
- Can some one out in netland give me a clue. Or ....
- GAG! Do I have to call Microsoft to get an answer. They have never
- been very helpful with past problems. (Neither has Borland with
- Turbo Pascal problems I've had)
