  11. I have version 5.5 of Turbo Pascal.  The docs say that the exec command should
  12. have a "SwapVectors" before and after it to prevent interrupt handlers from
  13. mucking with Turbo Pascal's interrupt vectors:
  14.  
  15.    swapvectors;
  16.    exec(whatever);
  17.    swapvectors;
  18.  
  19. I haven't used Turbo 6 but it may have the same requirements.
