???  Arity 5.1 runs just fine under DOS 4.01.  You have toset kbdriver=no in
the environment file so Arity will speak to the keyboard properly.  Now, mind
you, as far as I know this is an undocumented bit of trivia; I had to call
Arity tech. support to find out just what was wrong.  I'd suggest you do the
same, if for no other reason that to let them know that it's a little absurd
for their product not to work with DOS 4.01 without playing silly games.

For that matter, it's absurd for them to limit you to 64k stack space--I'm
looking forward to LPA's 386-Prolog.
