Well, I took the advice of many a person and tried to run command.com in a window. It proptly came back and said "386 system not correctly installed." I then tried to run any other dos program and got the same thing. I called microsoft and they said that the reason that it does this is that I need at least 2 Meg's worth of memory in order to get this thing to work properly with my system. ( I have an Inboard 386 ) They said the only thing that will work with windows for me is applications written specifically for windows. So much for my $100 and the ability to do dos under windows for me! Thanx to all who replied however.... :) -Scott Larsen larsen@cs.orst.edu UUCP: hplabs!hp-pcd!orstcs!larsen -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Open the pod bay doors, Hal." - David Bowman
