I haven't been having any problems with running Executor/Dos in OS/2. What he needs to do (assuming he has Warp) is to run "Add Programs" object in the "System Setup" folder. This will make a object for Executor on his desktop (usually in the "Additional Dos Programs" folder). Go into the settings for that object, and select the "Session" tab. Set it to "Dos Full Screen", and choose "Dos Settings". He wants "All Dos Settings". Primarily, Executor needs the "DPMI Memory Limit" set to 16 megs, and "DPMI Memory Limit" set to enabled. Since it defaults to 4 megs and automatic, it won't work. For additional performance, he should set "Dos High" to on, "EMS Memory Limit" to 0, "Video 8514a XGA IOtrap" to off, "Video Retrace Emulation" to off, "XMS Memory Limit" to 0, and "XMS Minimum HMA" to 63. The biggest boost comes from "Session Priority". Set this to at least 16, and if he is going to run no other programs, set it higher. If he is going to run other programs, this should be !
left at 16, and the "Dos Backrou
nd Execution" needs to be set to on.
