I've got an issue: I can't run an .ex file because Win95 reports this
error:

"This program is set to run in MS-DOS mode and cannot run while other
programs are running. All other programs will close if you choose to
continue.

Do you want to continue?"

What's goin' on? How do I destroy Win95... I mean, how do I fix this
error? :)
