229789 2004-04-16 09:52:00 hi, im doing this on behalf of my friend. the problem is as follows:

he has xp home
wheneva he uses a dos program
it exits after about 20 seconds
with no error message

(they always seem to work for me, though, and im using the same OS :) )

Run them from there rather than double clicking and he should get some meaningful output.
