This bothers me too.  I had a very nice Merge/286 setup, then I went out
and bought an AST VGA Plus card.  After that, the Microport merge kernel
stopped working. 

2.4 fixed the VGA problem, but the merge kernel has not been updated so
the merge product is STILL broken.  VGA is becoming more and more popular.
I wonder if Microport has given up on selling Merge/286?

(p.s. Randy, thanks for the tip re: the archive master file bug.  I spent
an hour or two puzzling over that until I saw your message.)
