- The problem is that the TI is not fully IBM compatible. 1024 is the
- error you get when you run programs that require full compatibility.
- The user will need to run some form of emulation. As I recall there

- are sseveral other better ones available via a good users group. I recommend
- the user join such a group. THe only one I'm certain of is located in Santa
- Clara valley California. If needed I could probably hunt up a contact number
- for them.
