That's the "mem" command, silly.

That's a command short for MEMORY.

It usually just prints out stuff about the system, and then usually hangs
it to all hell. Heh...

Read the file user.doc - it should be the command 'memory'...

First a suggestion to xyzzy:  I suggest you kill the post and redo it
highlighting the problem line in the memory printout.

As far as the data which is appearing in the `video adapter` line, could
it be possible that your system has a VGA graphics card, or some sort of
very badly cloned CGA, MGA, EGA card that does not have the ROM information
located in the proper location for what Waffle expects?  

Does Waffle look at the card, or at the cmos when it does this check?

*sigh*... (dig, dig, dig... aha, here it is, the one that has ELVIS IS KING
stamped on the back!... insert floppy... unzip 1.64 source...)

Diagnosis: you have "video: bios" in the static file.

Options:
1) don't use "video: bios" in your static file [but presumably you have it
   there for a reason]
2) upgrade to 1.65 to get the bug fix
3) add ', "BIOS"' to the end of the definition of types[] in memory() in
   dos.c, but presumably if you had the source you'd have fixed it already.
