I am having trouble with BBS software WWIV and DOS 5.0.  When you "shell out"
of the WWIV application, DOS loads command.com.  In DOS 5.0 I get a "memory
allocation error, exiting."  It then returns to the WWIV application.  Has
anyone had this problem.  I realize, not too many people run WWIV, however, has
anyone had trouble shelling out to DOS in other applications?
