Dear Robin,
Thanks for responding. I remembered after I e-mailed you that in W98 the DOS
functions are disabled EXCEPT from the DOS window. I was attempting to run
from the Desktop using a shortcut, but this will not support any DOS commands
(true 32 bit, etc.....a Bill Gates "gotcha!"). I killed everything except
DOS and the program runs fine. "Uncle Bill" has made it so that if you run
any DOS programs, by golly, you aren't going to do it under Windows!
Henry

Subject: CRYS2RUN
Dear Dr. Shirley,
I've run the program crys2run using my old 486 computer under W95, but I
recently upgraded to a newer machine and W98. Now I find I cannot get
crys2run to function. I've edited my batch files and added the path command
as I did before, but when I load a dataset and start the run it simply
crashes the program before any data is sent to Ito, Dicvol or Treor. I
don't even get an error message in the DOS window. Can you help me out with
this problem. Thanks.

If you have out of environment space errors, do the following
- Edit the c:\autoexec.bat file and put C:\CRYSFIRE into the PATH statement and reboot
the computer. e.g., (PATH C:\CRYSFIRE;c:\fullprof;c:\gsas\exe;c:\rietveld)
- For Windows NT, put c:\crysfire into the environment area via the Control Panel.
- Please note that CRYSFIRE requires the DOS or Win95/98 sort.exe program
that is not included from Windows NT. If using CRYSFIRE on an
NT machine, copy sort.exe from a Win95 or Win98 computer into the
c:\crysfire directory.
