A kind soul gave me a tip on my problem running my program from the DOS prompt. He suggested that I use LOADFIX to run my program. It works, and that's great, but I'd like some details. My DOS manual does not mention LOADFIX, so all I have is the HELP LOADFIX documentation. How does it work and why is it necessary? Next, how can I write a program so it doesn't need LOADFIX? For my current project, it doesn't matter, since I only have 1 user, and she has DOS 5.0. My next project, however, is supposed to run on almost any machine. I cannot require LOADFIX, and I would like to be able to circumvent the problem inside my program. Does anyone have ANY technical information on this problem? Get as detailed as necessary to allow me to implement a solution. Thanks, Jim Jarrett PS Again, please respond to jjarrett@csugrad.cs.vt.edu if possible. It's easier for me to receive answers this way.
