I'm using DOSBox version 0.74 which reports DOS version 5.00.

The current DOS interface code is mostly verbatim from 2.32. I guess I won't know just where the crash occurs until I can get real hardware running or if I can get a crash in a VirtualBox environment. -- David Griffith dgri...@cs.csubak.edu A: Because it fouls the order in which people normally read text.
