NOEMS isn't universally compatible with programs. At least one version of TD, for example, doesn't like it and generate an exception. There are other programs which depend on having an EMS page frame, access to EMS page functions, or other functions inhibited by NOEMS. Stargunner is one of a couple DOS4GW applications always tested prior to release, so you can safely assume if there's an EMM386 release, Stargunner works here. But I'm not sure why you're using 2.11, anyway. It's at least a couple of iterations back and has known issues with some DOS extended programs in certain environments. It shouldn't be in a final 1.0 release test, the word I had was that a later version would be present. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
