Same problem again as with the first version you sent. Gives the same message and then terminates: Load error: No DPMI That happens whether I use the main program ASC-TOOL.EXE or the batch file LR.BAT :-( I really think it is irrelevant but I am using it at the DOS prompt and not from Windows 3.11 which is the Windows version I've got. I am using MS-DOS 6.0 on a 486DX 66MHz machine with 16Mb RAM. Once again...I ask you to view ASC-TOOL.EXE in a file viewer of some kind like LIST.EXE - don't load it into a wordprocessor to view it because it will corrupt ASC-TOOL.EXE. I use a shareware utility named "FileViewer" and it simply views any file without loading the file at all. I highlight the file...press enter...and the file is ready to read...no problem! Whatever read that paragraph at the start of the executable ASC- TOOL.EXE and you will see it refers to that damned proggie CWSDPMI.EXE...it is looking for that prog and cannot find it...simply because I do not have CWSDPMI.EXE! Bye,
