Re: DOS error 21 when executing Win32s programs



".....Hmm... I don't seem to have a 32-Bit File Access toggle in my control 
panel.
Is there something special you have to do to get this to appear?
Or perhaps you have a modified control panel program?
I've set the smartdrv parameters... but by themselves, the DOS error 21 still
persists.  I'm still wondering if an "out of the box" windows 3.1 is the same
as what was origonally installed on my thinkpad......"

32-Bit file access may only be in 3.11.  We have the WFWG 3.11 upgrade on all 
our thinkpads (around $40).  That may be the difference.  I don't think Win32s 
would add this to the Control Panel and I assume you've already installed this, 
so I'd go with the upgrade.  The WFWG upgrade is one of the first things I do 
with incoming thinkpads, so I haven't really looked at Win 3.1 much.  The WFWG 
license also includes WinTCP, which is the easiest TCP/IP stack I've ever 
configured, so if you can make use of that, it's worth the price.
