How are you copying it? When I read files off a floppy,
Are there known issues with 1.0.6 and it's finding the configuration
file? Does it matter whether I compile using the 'fpc' or 'ppc386'
command (they differ on my system):

I did not follow your example, but are you aware of the "growing

Also, I think this ReturnNilGrowHeapFails behavior is broken in 1.0.6
and fixed i
