Okay did fine.

Nope still 87.
Under OS/2 ***same size also***.

I don't know where this came from but I can not duplicate the error.
My system is standard OS/2 version 3.0 (AKA WARP) and after 6 times in DOS
AND OS/2's DOS this worked PERFECTLY.
I can not state this more but it worked fine here. Maybe the person that did
this test for you was running on a Pentium :-).
