SYMPTOMS
========
If you rename or copy the compressed QBASIC.EX_ file to QBASIC.EXE without using
the MS-DOS 5.0 EXPAND utility, any attempt to start MS-DOS 5.0 Editor will give
an "Out of memory" message.
MORE INFORMATION
================
Editor uses of the QBasic interpretive editor. When QBASIC.EXE is compressed or
is corrupt, Editor will give an "Out of memory" error when loading.
RESOLUTION
==========
To correct this problem, expand QBASIC.EX_ to QBASIC.EXE by typing the following
from the MS-DOS directory
" expand [drive:]qbasic.ex_ c:\dos\qbasic.exe" (without the quotation marks)
where [drive:] is the floppy drive location of the compressed file.
