An application that I am working on in Borland C++ does not run from the
DOS prompt on some machines.  It locks up during its initialization stage.
If it is run from the DOS 5.0 Shell or from a Windows DOS shell, it works
fine.  The executable is about 130K compiled under the compact model.

Is this an easy problem to solve?  I really have no idea where to look.  The
machine that I am programming on never has this problem, although I cannot
run the same program from within a batch file on still other machines.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
