I ha run Socrates 3,0 many times in W95 withouth problem, BUT from a DOS
windows. Did you do the same or not? Besides, if you have a not too big Ram and

Tim OLena answers:

There's 64 Meg in the doggone thing! However, when I check from the DOS prompt,
I'm told that the largest executable program size is 520k. SOC.EXE is around 50k
and PSOC.EXE is around 480K. You can bypass SOC.EXE and run PSOC.EXE directly.
But, if and when that works, it doesn't last long...
