IAIN: I have a similar setup to yours. Try playing around with the emmulations. I have found that CGA works best with 8 color text if you have an accelerated machine. The first thing you should do is copy all the files from the GVP Utility disk which are in MSDOS format, to your C: directory. You can change the emmulations (CGA, EGA, VGA, MDA) from the dos prompt until you get something acceptable. I don't know what CIM hardware requirements are, so I can't help you with that. Also try allocating only 512k to the emmulator and make increases in small increments. Unlike the Amiga, PC clones require special drivers in the config.sys file to access any memory over 640k. GVP includes such a driver, but It doesn't work with everything. WordPerfect for example requires a standard LIM (Lotus-INtel-Microsoft) driver to access expanded memory. BTW DOSSHELL works best in monochrome 4-color text mode. A. Pagan
