Not multitasking and the only paths set up are for the cache and for the
editor. The cache works. The editor path appears ok, as the editor will
load offline.

Saving the mail isn't an option, because the "insert disk A in drive A"
dialog appears before the editor is loaded. The crash occurs either
before or during the editor loading (too fast to tell!)

Ok... I'll try playing about with things. I'm assuming that loading the
editor has nothing to do with cab.ovl - so the difference must be (???)
in the area of memory used to load the editor...
Derrrmmmmmmm... I guess I can try different options on the allocmem size
some more...

Update
======

Tried it... Now getting 3 bombs instead of 2, which I guess is
progress of a kind :)

Where is CAB looking for the data for the headers?
MAIL.TXT is being created, but is blank. Should it have headers already
in place when CAB first attempts to load the editor?
If so, could it mean that for some reason CAB is getting confused about
the location of the header data, presumably DEFAULT.CFG?????

No one else seems to be getting this, so I must have done something
"unexpected" somewhere...
