Question

I'm trying to run GeoWorks Pro 1.2.8.2 in DOSbox-X. When I try to start it "Loading PC/GEOS..." is printed on the screen and never goes past that point. I finally found the debugging stuff in DOSbox-X and have a window titled "DOCbox-X logging output". In that window, it just repeats the following error message -
"######## ERROR CPU:Illegal Unhandled Interrupt Called 6". Do any of y'all have a clue about that one?
Thanks, Roger

Please try LOADFIX -a first.

Older DOS programs malfunction when loaded too low in memory.

I tried the LOADFIX -a command and that didn't take care of the error. Thanks though for your time and assistance.
Thanks, Roger

I installed DOSbox on my Linux box and with the LOADFIX command, GeoWorks will start to load but ends up giving me another error about finding the print spooler.
Again, thanks so much for your help!
Roger
