Hi Jos,
I have been supporting a Borland TV based program that I developed in 1996-8.
Way back then under DOS (and I am pretty sure under Windows XP) I had to include 2 files in the execution path, one called DPMI16BI.OVL and the other called RTM.EXE. As far as I can recall if these files were no in the same directory as the executable program then it would not run. (I have long since forgotten the significance of these files!
)
I have just tried running the program under vDos without either of these files being present and it seems to run ok.
Any ideas why?
Hope you have a great festive season.
Cheers,
Steve
