I think 95 automatically loads other SYS files as well as ANSI.SYS which
aren't present or loadable under WinME. This would explain why it runs but
is garbelled under 95. The patch I was refering to allows you to load
ANSI.SYS (I managed to get that far...just!) as well as others, so if we can
work out what other SYS files need to be loaded we might be able to crack
this one. Any ideas 'cos I'm clean out...sorry

Hugz, Peter

PS    I can't remember where I got the patch but I'll hunt it down again if
anyones really interested. Just say the word
