But if you have a program that automatically detects DPMI, and uses it if it finds it, but causes memory problems when it does, you have a bug. It doesn't cause problems outside of windows because nothing is emulating DPMI. It seems to me that the way pkzip2.04 uses DPMI is buggy, I should not have to tell it not to work with DPMI, it should be able to handle it, but it can't. Other then that though, I really like the new version, especially the multiple disk thing. Makes it really easy to store big zip files! -- They say there is strangeness too dangerous | /\/ick Susch - U. of Rochester In our theatres and bookstore shelves, | nick@blaise.cif.rochester.edu That those who know what's best for us | or Must rise and save us from ourselves. | nsus_ss@uhura.cc.rochester.edu -RUSH
