1) Snoopy is right about the reason for the crash when you type .123.
The fix I prefer is to insert the line
dval = 0;
just before the
goto ff;
in iscan.c at approximately line 351. But I think his fix works too.
2) Snoopy is also right (gawd, it's awful dealing with someone who's right
all the time) about the reason that the DOS executable crashes.
I was in such a hurry to put out the release before I left town that
I accidentally distributed an executable that only runs on 80386 systems.
A revised executable is on its way.
