I tryed to run BC.EXE from Windows in Standard Mode and I get a divide
overflow in the DOS session.  This hangs the DOS session requiring
Termination.  Here's my setup:

Chicony 386SX-16 Motherboard w/8MB on board
Powergraph VGA w/1MB on board
WD1006-SR2 RLL 1:1 16-bit HD/FDD controller w/BIOS disabled
Soundblaster card w/CMS stereo chips.
Using Tseng 4K drivers.
QEMM/386 5.12 using RAM ROM options
DOS 5.0

I also have a few other problems that happens in Windows.  Sometimes my
harddisk will hang for a few minutes, and then continue.  Its a ST4096
(80MB MFM, formatted to 120MB RLL).
