I really don't know if this shouldn't be in the PBCC forum, but
I will take a shot in the dark.
I have a DOS program that I have been running a number of years.
Recently upgrading to Windows-98 R-2, I ran across a real
puzzling problem.
When I go to "Start > Restart in DOS mode" or open a DOS window,
and try to run the program, it gives me an error 5, Illegal
function call OR error 6, overflow. It goes "burp" on the same
lines every time.
The illegal function call line is:
m$ = m$ + cr$ + cr$ (cr$ = chr$(13) + chr$(10))
The overflow is:
reg 1,0
What makes this problem really interesting is when I F-8 to the
DOS prompt on boot up, it works every time. Anybody got any
ideas as to what's happening????
