- Thanks. Someone else suggested that After-Dark's AD-DOS had known
- conflicts with PWB. So I disabled it and, sure enough, PWB runs without
- a hitch. So, since researching this problem, I acquired patches to
- C/C++ 7.0, 386MAX, and now also have been told that there is a
- patched After-Dark. This almost shames me to be a programmer.
