- It means you're flirting with disaster :). Windows is a DPMI server.
- PKZ204C seems to barf (depending on your memory configuration) when
- DPMI is present - under DOS, Windows, or OS/2. They suggest in the
- docs that you turn off DPMI support when running under windows, I
- suggest you turn off DPMI support period until the next release, or
- you may find Windows locking up and doing very strange things.
-
- Make a PKZIP.CFG in the same directory as your PKZIP.EXE and put
- "dpmi=disable" in the file.
