[Trlog] TRlog / DOS 7.1 / 500Mhz processor / 1 gig memory problem

[Paul Erickson]

Hi Mirko,

Thanks very much for the reply. I found PATCHCRT.EXE and used it on the 
INSTALL.EXE,
TR.EXE and POST.EXE. In each case patchcrt said that the files had been 
patched, and
  INSTALL.EXE worked, but when I executed TR, after the prompts or name 
and call, it hangs
up.

What sort of hardware are you using it with?

Any other thoughts?

cheers, Paul
