  Hi.  This should be an easy question.  I receive the following
error message whenever I try to load a file into Harvard Graphics for Windows
version 1.01 under Windows 3.1:

     Application Error
HGW caused a General Protection Fault in Module HGW.EXE at 0036:1E3B


  Since Microsoft cleverly doesn't have a list of error messages
in their documentation, I have no idea what this means.  Can someone 
help me out?  Reply either here or via mail - panix.com is my preferred
address.

  Thank you very much.
