Hello all!

I need to dust off my copy of TC 2.0 and TD 2.0 to do some
work for a client. So I installed it, and they both fail with
Fatal EMS error. 

The problem seems to be with running EMM386.EXE that came with
DOS 5. I run EMM386.EXE with the NOEMS option. If I drop that
option, TC and TD work fine. 

Is this a known problem? Is the only fix to run EMM386 without
the NOEMS option? Or did Borland issue a patch to fix this?

Incidentally, I don't want TC or TD to use Expanded Memory. I
don't know why they complain, and why there is no switch to
tell them not to use expanded memory.

Thanks for any help!

Milan
