Thanks. I have emailed him. Don't bother looking for
a backup as that is one of two things I am now trying.

Yeah - but what I don't know is whether you actually
need to bind it, or whether it is like HX and just
intercepts DOS.

I believe new EXEs are built with relocations to allow
address space randomization.
Regardless, I don't use virtual memory, so all of my
executables have relocations.

No - I have no expectations. Especially not for
something obtained for free.
Just looking.
Also conceptualizing the state of play when Win 95 was
released. E.g. I have been buying stuff from ebay from
around that time.
I'm looking to see whether my executables could run on
win32s too, so I ordered Windows for Workgroups too.
I have had great success with 3.5" floppies from decades
ago still being readable, mostly.
BFN. Paul.
