Hi all, OK, I've found why prowess didn't boot correctly in SMSQmulator. And I have a question for those using SMSQmulator. First things first. As Marcel said, it was something to do with the device drivers, but not as I expected: Actually, the prowess laoder is pretty sneaky. Say the

Is there anybody who'd object to the device being called WIN right away? Wolfgang No objection, but please keep the various xxx_USE keywords so that names can still be changed, e.g. I like to call the NFA device DOS just because that's like QPC! Dilwyn

Hi, Wait a minute! When I tried SMSQmulator I created a QXL.win under QPC and linked that to SMSQ/M. But the file on de hard drive is then not necessarily called QXL.WIN. Also the label name for the winN_ in QPAC2 is not always winN_ in my case. So does this renaming in any way affect easy
