Hi Guru,

Thanks for the reply. I tried putting $dpmi=4096 in /etc/dosemu.conf. But when
I run dosemu it gives parsing error at the above line.

However my problem is solved. In foxpro two types of exe files  can be created

1. Standalone
2. Standalone extended.

I was creating Standalone extended exe hence the problem. But when I created a
standalone exe it ran without any problem.
