I uudecoded it OK to yield the executable ASC-TOOL.EXE size 39690Kb. When I run it I get the error message " Load error: no DPMI " which conveys nothing to me but probably has something to do with the preface in the executable itself which says: --------- preface from the executable file ----------------------- stub.h generated from stub.asm by djasm, on Tue Jan 30 23:43:58 1996 The STUB.EXE stub loader is Copyright (C) 1993-1995 DJ Delorie.
