Note for DOS 5.0 users: There is a DOS bug that prevents some of my programs
from running on certain machines under DOS 5.0. If the programs don't work,
preface them with the DOS 5.0 LOADFIX command. Thus, to run FOO.EXE,
you'd use the command line:
LOADFIX FOO
The problem is related to the similar bug that prevents DOS 5.0 from
running certain programs that have been processed with the Microsoft
EXEPACK program. It only occurs if there is *nothing* loaded into
conventional memory (DOS loaded high, and everything else, too) Hopefully
Microsoft will fix this bug in DOS 5.0 *soon*. I know I went through a
few hair-tearing sessions over it...... unlike the problem with EXEPACKed
files, which results in an error message being printed, the DOS bug in
this case causes the programs to simply lock up. I knew it wasn't my code,
because even
#include <stdio.h>
main()
{
printf("Hello, world!\n");
}
would lock up. I was finally able to get access to a machine displaying
the problem for an extended period of time and track down a fix.
