- Ok, just tried it again running dos 5.0 (don't even have OS/2 on this machine)
- This is with qvision.zip from hobbes. After typing sp0406 I get:
-
- Attempted access to illegal or downed server (garbage acsii characters)
- ** Program Aborted **
-
- Then I'm returned to my DOS prompt. I'll bet it's something on my end.
- Maybe that particular part of the disk is damaged, I am running QEMM 6.0,
- and am attached to a network (Netware 3.11). If nobody else sees this,
- assume it's just me and I'll email you if I figure it out....
