Yes I have it running on any number of 3.2 machines and on an IBM PS/2
Model 80 running 3.3.  I had the problem you described on _both_ 3.2 and
3.3.  It turned out to be a combination of not enough available memory
(Too many device drivers and TSR's in my case) and setting the environ-
ment space to a non-default value (the /E=nnnn parameter in config.sys
in the SHELL= line).  If you free up all memory and leave off the /E
parameter in the config.sys I bet it will solve your problem.

Good Luck!
