- It could be some sort of settings or configuration file that is
- causing the problem.
-
- There are a couple ways around the problem. One is to obtain a small
- TSR, available via anonymous ftp from ftp-os2.nmsu.edu, which will
- bypass this warning message (I'm afraid I don't remember the name, but
- it was released a couple months ago -- look at the descriptions). The
- other is to make two copies of Paradox on the hard disk.
-
- I think I prefer the first approach. :-)
