It's disappointing, yes. But the problem is not that your PC can't
handle the program. It's that the program can't handle the PC.
Apparently, there are some older DOS programs that were writting using
some Borland C or Pascal libraries, that tend to fail with CPU's faster
than 100 mhz. I run into the problem occasionaly with a small program I
use for tracking participants of a newsgroup I moderate. I just keep
trying, and it eventually runs properly. Normally only takes a couple
of tries. I realize that might not be practical with yes, though.
