I am trying to get demacs (gnu emacs for dos) working on a Wyse
Decisionmate Notebook PC.

I have installed demacs as per the file which comes with demacs, and
each time I run demacs the machine crashes and reboots.  Oddly enough,
the same thing happens when I run the DOS version of groff.

I have installed himem.sys and ansi.sys.

The support people in the UK for this machine say they guess it is a
problem with either the cyrix CPU _or_ the Award BIOS.

Anyone got some ideas on this ? 

Please reply via email as we don't take comp.sys.ibm.pc.
