I think I'm going to have to agree with you. I wish I had the first WAD
that caused the crash, because I remeber seeing the DOS4GW extender crash
when loading DOOM. I wish I could reproduce this. I'm inclined to believe
that this is the root of the problem. I still don't know why it dies
though... (BTW, I have 8M RAM too)

Bravo, sir, well said. You said everything I wanted to say except "You
dickhead!!!!", but I won't say that, cause I'm trying to clean up my mouth <g>.
BTW, be sure to announce when you upload your DM WAD collection. I look
forward to trying them out.
