Several customers have reported that when running QBX.EXE from
Microsoft BASIC Professional Development System (PDS) version 7.00 or
7.10 on a machine with a Tecmar ROM BIOS version 1.02 or 1.04, if a
VGA screen is being used, the environment loses color and the system
eventually hangs or reboots itself.

Tecmar is researching this problem and will provide a free upgrade to
Tecmar ROM BIOS version 1.11. To obtain this free upgrade, call Tecmar
technical support at (800) 344-4463.

This information applies to Microsoft BASIC Professional Development
System (PDS) versions 7.00 and 7.10 for MS-DOS.
