Are you operating under any sort of multitasking software (MS-Windows,
DesqView, etc.)?  If so, you should exit your multitasking environment and
run under plain MS-DOS.  22DISK (and probably similar software as well)
makes system calls which are not supported under some multitasking
environments.  If this isn't the case, I have found Sydex to be friendly and
helpful with problems.  Contact them at:
