Correct

So that reproduces Ray's problem, but mine is working at this point.

And that reproduces Bastiaans problem, and mine as well.

Ok, but why does mine work from the DOS prompt ?  If even a single
W95 system works, it may still be a configuration problem ?.

Glenn I woulden't bother.  Arachne isn't rearly meant to be run on
a windows system, and your time could be better spent.  Please don't
get up to your elbows in assembler on our account.
Just my view guy's, but there's more pressing job's to do than sort
out windoze funny's.  Assuming the assembler isn't a five minute job.
