I have acutally tried using the emulator -although the particular version 
of the environment variables doesn't show it in my last post - and it 
gives the same error:

	Unsupported INT 0x06
	Invalid Opcode at eip= ... etc

I used it the following way as shown in the readme file:

	set GO32=emu c:/djgpp/bin/emu387

That didn't work so I tried using the "\" instead of the "/" in setting
the GO32 environment variable. The FAQ uses the dos style "\" and so does
the readme file in the GO32 section. In the installation section of the
readme file the unix style "/" is used. I also checked that emu387 was
located in the specified path. 

Neither styles of the "slash" worked - the unsupported INT 0x06 was 
always generated.

BTW, which style of "slash" should be used? I thought it was "/".


Thank you
