- MSC 6.00A fixed a number of problems (but it is not clear that any of
- these would give the problems that you describe). I use MSC 6.00A under
- OS/2 without problems. You note implies first that you compile in an OS/2
- window, but later you say "all be DOS stuff". In any case, perhaps you
- should run MSC in an OS/2 window, if you are currently running in a dos-box.
- You can still develop DOS programs.
