What do you mean by "only the real mode version"?

>Does this mean Yarnx has problems under Win95?

Nope. I run it at home on a regular basis. It's the only way
deal with a large news.dat.

I've noticed that.

I'm running yarnx.exe under W95, yes. Extended utils, no. I haven't
come up with a need to get fancy with utilities. I can't remember
exactly which version, but I think I have the 0.92 version.

I tried to use the Yarn95 at work, but with this strange setup, it
tended to lock me up. Never could figure out why. So, I'm using a DOS
version on my W95 machine at home.
