Subject: Unable to run two instances (dosemu + foxpro)
Date: Wed, 12 Nov 2008 16:05:42 -0700	[thread overview]

Hi

I've been banging my head against the wall for a few days now and cannot 
seem to find a solution.

My problem is that I cannot seem to run FoxPro for DOS more than once at 
the same time. I've basically set dosemu as a log in shell for a user, 
lets name him Mike. He logs in, opens foxpro, works. At the same time I 
want to open up foxpro as a different user, lets name him John. Foxpro 
just exits without any error message.

I'm stumped. Any ideas?
