- HELP!!
-
- I have a user here who needs to run Minitab rel 8 on a 486DX 33Mhz in a DOS
- VDM, of some sort (Specific version native etc), but the damn thing crashes
- OS/2 (Actually it just locks it up, and the keyboard stops working).
-
- The mouse is still tracking across the screen, but nothing else happens. Not
- even CTRL-ALT-DEL. :( Needless to say he is fairly upset at this, and wants
- it to work.
-
- ANyone out there using Minitab under OS/2? (He also has a copy of Minitab
- extended edition coming. Will this work?)
-
- Oh yeah. The exact sequence of commands entered was
-
- read c1 c2
- 1 2
- 3 4
- end
- copy c1-c4;
- use c1 1
- .
-
-
- And then it locks up. Tighter than a drum, after the full stop. I have tried
- changing settings, and things, but to no avail. Has anyone got minitab working
- properly on their machine?
-
- TIA.
