Anyone have any ideas?        ml>> which DOS is it for? freeDOS? is freeDOS 32bit?               RM> Does a 32 bit DOS exist??              apparently...               RM> That would not be DOS any more, would it??              DOS is nothing more than "Disk Operating System"... it could be 256bit and       still be DOS...               RM> Or do you mean extensions such as the DOS Protected Mode Interface        RM> (DPMI)              nothing like that should be needed for true 32bit stuffs... they should be       using a flat memory model... the last time i used freedos it was very       different from the normal MS-DOS... especially in the memory area... i had to       figure out the new ways to get the drivers loaded that i needed to access a       machine i was rescuing data from... that was several years ago when machines       started coming out with no standard RS232 serial ports on them... luckily i       was able to use the parallel post to rescue this particular machine ;)               ml>> aside from that, FIDOSOFT.HUSKY would be the place to ask about HPT        ml>> specific problems like that...               RM> Indeed ... but I doubt that there will be people left interested in        RM> compiling and supporting it for DOS.               RM> I still think that you are better of using old DOS tossers like FastEcho.              agreed to a point...              )\/(ark              Always Mount a Scratch Monkey              ...
