Stephen, I think part of your frustration comes from trying to work out the -MAXREAL statement. I hope that you channel it more constructively next time. Does AAPro work under Windows? We advertise that AAPro 1.3 does. I am able to get it to run under Windows myself. This is because AAPro 1.3 uses a revision of the Phar Lap software which recognizes the type of memory provided by Windows to DOS apps. Confusion exists because AAPro takes a long time to load under Windows. Prior to the shipping build, AAPro loaded properly under Windows. The shipping build takes several minutes to load, and in fact greets you with a message that there is not enough memory to run the app. If you hit <enter> twice, AAPro generally starts up. At that point, you can move in and out of your applications. Depending on your memory configuration and the graphics card, AAPro may not have access to high res modes you're used to seeing when running in DOS. I generally don't run higher than 640×480 so that's not a problem for me. Sometimes when I switch back to the AAPro screen it needs a redraw to clear the screen. This was written up as a bug and is being fixed. Let us know specifically what your complaints are and we'll try to rectify them. Nik
