- Well, I just love these kind of problem reports. You'll have to admit, that
- "somehow the BC.EXE just doesn't work" is not a very precise description of
- your problem, eh?? ;-)
- I assume, you get a lot of junk on the screen instead of the proper bc desktop.
- Solution for this is to turn on DOS_DPMI support (instead of auto) in the
- DOS settings of bc.exe. And, if this was the cause for your problem (and even
- if it was not) please DO read the README file. (On the other hand, the README
- of OS/2 2.1 beta doesn't mention Borland, now does it?? Hm..)
