Say, MS experts:  I desperately need your advise.

I bought C/C++ (MS) some weeks ago and paid many bucks for it.  I installed
386MAX version 6.01d and it seems to run fine.  All my applications and
programs run fine except one: PWB.

My PWB hangs everytime I try to compile.  Only a re-boot will fix it.  It
works fine from Windows, but just not from DOS.

MS gave me a patch to upgrade C/C++ to 7.0a (I think).  Qualitas gave me
a patch to upgrade to 6.2.

Well, if anyone else has upgraded from 6.01d to 6.2, try running 386MAX.exe.
It complains of a wrong version number; however, the software works well
enough to allow a clean re-boot.

PWB on the other hand behaves significantly worse under 7.0a.  PWB now hangs
no matter where I run it.

I tried different combinations of old and new C/C++ with old and new 386max.
And simply wound up restoring both packages to their original versions.

MS is silent so far.  Can anyone else help?
