- The "Packed file is corrupt" is a Microsoft bug in their packexe
- program. They assumed that programs would always be loading above
- some point in memory (64k?), and OS/2 is giving you too much free
- space. You have two options, either put a few small things low, or
- track down a program called "loadfix", and run loadfix <program>.
- I had a copy floating around somewhere, but I don't know where it is
- now, or where I got it (DOS or OS/2 1.x)
