If I power up and say "dos" at the "boot:" prompt, DOS loads normally, including emm386. If I run xenix for a while and then boot dos, the emm386 doesn't start, but gives an error message. Possible fix: playing with the A20 handler used... Suggestions or actual solutions are most welcome. -- bill davidsen (davidsen@crdos1.crd.GE.COM -or- uunet!crdgw1!crdos1!davidsen) GE Corp R&D Center, Information Systems Operation, tech support group Moderator comp.binaries.ibm.pc and 386-users digest.
