I am the author of NNANSI.SYS (an "improved version" of >NANSI.SYS which I did not write), and your description is correct. But don't be so quick to accept this as the final word... I get turbo debugger (td386) to lock up every time, and this is with nothing special running (no nansi.sys, etc.). It is with the same (large) program; I haven't tried other code yet. I haven't bothered to call them on it, given that they'll just claim they know nothing about it. But anyway, it fails for me regularly. :-( If anyone out there has other ideas... let's hear em. (I did call them with another problem and I am (still) very disappointed in Borland's tech support. On this particular program, using overlays, it routinely gets an exception 13 (which is nowhere documented in any of the Borland manuals, BTW). This happens in the startup code, i.e., before main. Without overlays, it runs fine. Anyway, tech support says if I mail in the code, or the usual recreation-via-small-program, they'll look into it -- in THREE MONTHS. Geez, this program is scheduled for release in two! Anyway, I tried to get them to let me have a copy of the overlay manager source code, but they were very prissy about it and have so far said no way. At this point I'm debugging it via the disassembly, but of course having to reboot every time I want to quit the debugger is a major nuisance!) -- Andrew Burt uunet!isis!aburt or aburt@du.edu "Kwyjibo on the loose!"
