     YES!!!
     
     I never thought of that - but I will give it a shot next time. I had a 
     similar experience _MANY_ moons ago with another DOS application that 
     I tried to use. (don't recall what it was...)
     
        I had (under ms-dos) about 613kb of 640kb free on a 16 MB machine. 
     While running this app I received a 64kb boundary message. The cure 
     was to use up a bit of memory and then - the app worked!
     
     Just goes to show - it really doesnt matter how much memory you have 
     in that box... That MS-DOS sure is a tricky OS - isn't it? They sure 
     did a great job of emulating the dos environment - didn't they ???
