SYMPTOMS
Running RBase version 3.1 from Microsoft Windows version 3.0 enhanced mode with EMM386.EXE loaded in the CONFIG.SYS file using the NOEMS switch may produce a &quot;Fatal Error...&quot; message.



CAUSE
This error can occur if the program information file (PIF) used to run RBase 3.1 contains any non-zero value in the EMS KB Limit field of the Advanced PIF properties dialog box.



WORKAROUND
Set both the EMS KB Required and KB Limit fields to 0 (zero) to allow RBase 3.1 to function properly.

Setting both EMS fields to 0 forces RBase 3.1 to make use of XMS extended memory instead of EMS memory.

Rbase is manufactured by Microrim, a vendor independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding this product's performance or reliability.
