Maybe the UMSDOS-partition is mount read-only and Euphoria has to write sometimes something to disk? Or maybe Euphoria runs out of memory; since you said it runs right from the DOS-prompt (I suppose with loadlin) and you haven't partitioned your HD again, you probably don't have a Linux-swapfile-partition, which will be used when you run out of memory. Another possibility is that you don't have the rights to execute programs from your UMSDOS-partition. Check your /etc/fstab for the settings. Martin Schut
