#Shelling from 3DS R2

Minor question. When I shell out to DOS from 3DS R2, and try to run TTSHOW (from Videotex Systems), and I get an error message that it can't access the math co-processor. The program works OK if I run it outside of 3DS. When I exit a DOS shell, I get an retry, abort, or fail message on the CD-ROM drive if I don't have a CD-ROM in it. I don't get a message on startup or when loading a project. Question is: Are these known problems with shelling out or does it sound like a configuration problem on my end? Thanx, LAM

I just shelled out of 3DSr2 on my machine and ran TTSHOW from DOS and it worked fine. Didn't get any message about a math coprocessor. Then, I ejected my CD-ROM and exited the DOS shell and didn't get a retry, abort message. This leads me to believe that there's a configuration state in your system that's different than mine. – G
