    Can you please tell what did you try doing in Emacs when it crashed?

I wasn't doing anything; it crashes on startup.

    I wouldn't go that far.  If you use emacs.exe from em1934b.zip on SimTel, 
    then one thing to try is this:

	    stibedit emacs.exe minstack=512k

    Then try again and tell me if that helped.

I shall try this --- it may be some time before I can get a reply out
on the result (my PC is currently not networked, not even by modem).

	Thanks for the help,

	Paul.
