I believe you will find that error is from the DOS program (looks like
Turbo Pascal to me).  As far as why VP/ix died, I'd like to know why it
does that too.  Also, why does VP/ix give me:

NOTICE: growreg - Insufficient memory to allocate 425902 pages - system call failed

This happens each time I execute a command in Y:\USR\VPIX\UNIXBIN.  I did
discover it only happens when the command exits, so it runs just fine
and sends this crap to me /dev/console.
