Ron My problem with DOS 5 was using the advanced features such as loading dos HIGH and problems with TSR's. Programs like PCTools would lock up if made resident. On the other hand, the database program I was using had no problems and in fact benefitted from the extra memory. When you say your XT is accellerated do you mean it is just a faster XT or have you converted it to a 286. If it is still an XT then perhaps that is why you haven't had any problems. Also, I had one of the first DOS5 upgrades that where available here so perhaps it had a few bugs in it still. When I called C= about it they said that DOS5 wouldn't work correctly. From my experience they were correct. Or perhaps it is simply the rev. of my BB…who knows? Thanks for your comments. Andrew
