   There's actually more general DPMI problems... another known bug is
   that it won't store volume labels.

You should override using dpmi with a switch when using windows if any
problems appear. I suggest reading the manual.doc.

If you make a program which works fine in most cases and make a switch
to be used in other cases, your program doesn't have a bug. Neither
has pkzip.
