Yes, and in fact it does make a big improvement: 
thanks for calling this upgrade to my attention. Now Blue Wave and R:BASE
run without any apparent problem while CWSDPMI is resident; with
Image Alchemy PS 1.8, the program terminates with a message "Error reading
PostScript file," but the system then seems to run normally (no crash).

Thanks to CWS for this fine new release; as for the remaining milder
incompatibility with Image Alchemy PS 1.8, maybe it just goes to show that
you can't please all versions of DOS/4GW all the time <grin>.

Most appreciatively,
Margo Schulter
