Alright, maybe I should have gotten Borland C++, but I have been
an MSC user since 4.1 days. Now to the problem.

I finally installed 7.0 (what a disk hog).
I try and run PWB under windows.
Blam! My screen goes into what appears to be 40 column CGA type
resolution. I exit PWB. My windows session has funny lines 
throughout.

I exit windows. Get back in. Start a DOS session. Start PWB.
Amazing. Here it works. What gives ?

The PIF entries look very similar. (Screen stuff is same... don't
remember specifics right now)

MSC uses -1 entries for XMS... DOS pif has 0 0. Could this be it.
I'll have to experiment some more.

Can some one out in netland give me a clue. Or ....
GAG! Do I have to call Microsoft to get an answer. They have never
been very helpful with past problems. (Neither has Borland with
Turbo Pascal problems I've had)
