Re: BDI-TNG

Erie,

I'm running it on a Dell Latitude Laptop with a Celeron 500.
128meg, with an ATI Rage Mobility graphics card (chip?)
built in. Not really running a machine with it, that's being done
on a desktop with the latest BDI (not TNG). Seems to run fine
except I get tons of SHEM shared memory errors in my terminal
window when EMC is running. Does not seem to hamper EMC
though. I need to research this and possibly change my Shem
base address or memory size in my INI file.

Bill
