- Strange..... I just tried running sp0406.exe under DOS 5.0 and didn't
- have any problems. As far as I know it does not use any memory other
- than than the first 640K, but just in case I tried all combinations I
- could think of with EMS, XMS, VCPI, DPMI, frame buffer, no frame
- buffer, etc. (sometimes I forget what a pain DOS is). It does also
- run fine from a OS/2 DOS session, but if I run it from an OS/2 session
- it creates a DOS window and runs it there. If you can recreate the
- error I would be interested in knowing what the exact error message
- is.
