Speaking of Anarkey... I had it running on my Toshiba DOS 3.3 without
any problems. A couple of days ago I switched to a new portable
(386SX, 16MHz) running DOS 4.01, and Anarkey simply refuses to load. I
tried looking under TD and found out that it exits (exit (1)) while in
the first subroutine. It expects to find something in BX (I've done it
a couple of days ago, and I can't remember off hand what it was), but
it doesn't find it... Has anyone any clues?? Is the author on the
net??? BTW, I'm a registered user, but (unfortunately) in the wrong
country :-), and it doesn't pay-off to ring overseas....

PS Otherwise, I was VERY satisfied with the program...
