- While developing my Windows apps with Borland C++ 3.1, occasionally I get
- UAEs (or whatever they're called now) and sometimes I just go into the weeds
- (well perhaps, more than occasionally). Once I fix the problem, I usually
- restart Windows and carry on again. I do this just to make sure in case I
- have corrupted Windows.
-
- The question is - should I also re-boot DOS when this happens? Does Windows
- have any sort of barriers between my app and DOS? I'm using Windows 3.1 and
- DOS 5.0.
