ASM>Why not commenting on them, so that we know what the problem is, and ASM>help us fix EMM386?
I did so several times in this list and,before I could post to it, directly to Michael Devore. As an update, I tried today to use EMM386 (version 15)while online. Lynx 2.8.5,which I recently installed,would not start. Lynx 2.8.4 was noticeably slower and accessed the disk far more often than usual (that is,without EMM) and crashed after about 10minutes with the message: Page fault cr2=101abf20 in RMCB at eip=1abf20;flags=3006 eax=000206e8 ebx=00000030 ecx=00000030 edx=000200e0 esi=00000500 edi=0029fba0 ebp=003501a0 esp=00350164 cs=a7 ds=b7 es=b7 fs=b7 gs=b7 ss=b7 error=0004 Which I presume is a DPMI message. When I was composing the first version of this message (still online), the following suddenly appeared: Panic:more than two near fnodes requested at same time and I had to reboot (now without EMM). This is not a reproducible sequence. Things as these seem to happen at random. Since I want EMS just for a couple of CAD programs and DOS boots very quickly, I can live fairly well with a config.sys option. Anyway,this is not a problem of FreeDOS only - behaviour of these programs with DR-DOS EMM386.SYS is,if anything,worse.
