Re: Unable to run two instances (dosemu + foxpro)

   Hello.
   Have you looked at the .dosemu/boot.log file?
BTW, never saw a DOS with more than 64Mib of XMS or EMS memory, at least DR-DOS or MS-DOS didn't allow it! Maybe a FreeDOS extension? :-) Having much less EMS and XMS memory would be better, since those programs wheren't designed for so much memory, so, using 4Mib or 8Mib should be plenty for them, try reducing the amount of memory, maybe that causes the problem?
   Bye.

Hi

I've been banging my head against the wall for a few days now and cannot seem to find a solution.

My problem is that I cannot seem to run FoxPro for DOS more than once at the same time. I've basically set dosemu as a log in shell for a user, lets name him Mike. He logs in, opens foxpro, works. At the same time I want to open up foxpro as a different user, lets name him John. Foxpro just exits without any error message.

I'm stumped. Any ideas?
