I use the term "nukes the DOS box" to mean that it wipes the DOS box from
the system. To paraphrase Monty Python, it is an ex DOS box, it is no more.
So taking a snapshot of the screen is not a possibility.

I suspect that this is something to do with DPMI and the sheer size of the
emacs executable(s). Perhaps the temacs.exe stubify command is not
working correctly...

I still have my gcc2721-compiled emacs binaries so I'm happy. I just meant
to use the emacs compilation as a handy benchmark for my new motherboard
and CPU. It didn't work out, so I thought I'd mention it. I'd be investigating
this more actively if there were not lots of *really important* World Cup
football matches on at the moment :-)

Regards,
Ian
