	Actually, mine is a shell that runs inside of Windows 95 and is
meant as a replacement for the MSDOS Prompt. So, actually, it runs in
of Windows 95 inside of a shell.

	Ok.. It printed go32-v2 version 2.0
(with a description of go32-v2)  and then it printed 

DPMI memory 13xxx kbytes (If you want exactly, I think 13256)
DPMI swap space 2346 kbytes

	Well, ok, but it isn't realistic for my program. I intended the use
of it to be as a shell under Windows 95. Anyway, I ran it in pure DOS and
received the same error message.

Thanks,
Paul
