There's a PIF setting at work.

Properties->Program tab->Advanced button->MS-DOS mode checkmark

I don't know where you would set that property. At first I suspected the
DOS prompt shortcut, but that would mean you'd get that message whenever
you goto the DOS prompt.

You could look at C:\WINDOWS\DOSAPP.INI and see if C:\EUPHORIA\BIN\EX.EXE
is in there. (If it is, delete that line.)

Maybe someone else can provide more information. I'm just here to help
plant ideas and figure out what ISN'T the problem. :)



Robert Brandon Pilkington--Thinking too much again. (Maybe the 4th
dimension isn't time, because time would exist in 2d worlds too, and if
the 4th dimension is to us 3rd dimensioners, then the 3rd dimension for
2ders is time..... So the 4th dimension is more likely alternate
universes. [And I even have a theory in how to rupture the seal between
them....]) (See what I mean? :)
