Chemistry, Adelphi University >shopsis@auvax1.adelphi.edu or shopsis@panther.adelphi.edu My friend recently bought Stacker 3.0 and managed to figure out what was wrong (at least for his machine). He mentioned that the use of a 386 memory manager and running Stacker 3.0 with the /ems option caused disk read/write errors. He switched to the upper memory or conventional memory configuration and mentioned that any problems were completely fixed. I think that Stacker 2.0 had this problem with qemm as well, but it was less frequent. -- Bing Ho bing@zinc.cchem.berkeley.edu University of California, Berkeley
