The problem is simple. DPMI. Caldera allready said in the DR-DOS
mailing list that it is still not perfectly MS-DOS compatible, which
causes many games that use it to crash.. I managed to workaround
this problem by disableing the DPMI.
BTW, using 7.01 as an example for DR-DOS is alittle incorrect.
7.02 and 7.03b has alot of bugs fixed, and things now almost never
crash here. Only the games and programs of the type I mentioned
now doing problems, but I sepose that Caldera is now working to
correct this.
And BTW, I still keep MS-DOS 6.22. Thanks god for boot-loaders.. :)
