I have tried previous releases and have found that 0.99 prerelease 1 works
OK.
0.99 prerelease 4 does not, I have not got 0.99-2 or 3.  The problem seems
to be in the CWSDPMI.EXE, though I have tried various versions of this
programe.
When it resets the computer it makes a file called CWSDPMI.SWP that is empty
in the root dir.
I tried changing the CONFIG.SYS file in DOS and have found that if you stop
EMM386.EXE from running the 0.99-4 will work, but in DOS if you run MEM/C it
will list all modules that are running in memory like (MSDOS, MOUSE, COMMAND
etc), every time you run CAVERN a new CWSDPMI module will appear until it
fills up the memory and nothing will run.
