It really would help a lot if you try EMX for DOS and let me know the results. You can do this by making an MSDOS startup disk (see BOOT***.EXE in the files section - or anywhere on the internet), putting the floppy in your PC, then reboot and run EMX from MSDOS. Some useful information can also be gathered by running the EMXPINFO.EXE program (in XP). You can find this small program in the files section: http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/emax/files/EMXP/ Can you run this program (a) once for a disk formatted by EMXP. (b) once for a disk formatted by your EMAX. and e-mail the two EMXPINFO.TXT output files to me ? (esynthesist@...). Check your email addresses also, because I don't think it's necessary to send all messages related to EMXP support into the public message board (although this is OK to me). Craig or maybe someone else can also try to compare the results of EMX and EMXP ?
