could it be that the 'main' 'pif' which win95 uses for running batch files
is wrong?

No I can't, all of my 'pif's' are unchecked in that aspect, but EVERY one
of then are 'fixed' in terms of XMS.  If, some some unknown reason, the dj
programs are not detecting an xms driver, are they attempting to load,
err, I forget the name of the dj driver. (?).  Also, I've found that using
the default screen mode causes problems, it's best to select the same mode
with which the program is setting the screen mode.  I ran into a message,
'windows cannot run this program because of the screen mode it's using'
when I first setup INFO to use it's 43 line mode.  I hope this helps
because I haven't had any problems beyond this and getting the illegal
memory operation when using auto for the XMS.
