   Yeah, I don't really know (I'm sure you caught that I was    
   forwarding somebody else's message).  I also am using DOSemu (with    
   FreeDOS) under Slack64 and haven't had problems.  But I think this    
   issue only shows itself with certain doors/programs.  Frank was    
   having trouble with a particular door he was trying to get going.

   Yes, agreed on that.  It can be a cantankerous b**ch...   
      
   I'm just using the latest available from SBo...  :-)
