  I have been getting "Packed file is corrupt" errors when trying to
run certain applications after installing MS-DOS 5.0.  Any idea what 
might cause this?  Specifically qbasic and PC-NFS telnet give this
error when I try to run them.

  I assume it has to do with devicehigh, since if I don't load anything
high, the problem goes away, but I was wondering if anyone else has had
any experience with this problem.
