SUMMARY
=======
 
MIRROR.COM, a terminate-and-stay-resident (TSR) utility included with
MS-DOS 5.0, may conflict with Works for MS-DOS, possibly causing Works
to stop responding (hang). It is recommended that you do not use
MIRROR.COM with Works for MS-DOS version 2.0 or 3.0.
 
MORE INFORMATION
================
 
MIRROR.COM is designed to aid in recovering from accidental formats by
maintaining an image of the system area of the disk. Because TSR
programs such as MIRROR.COM by definition remain resident in RAM, they
can cause memory conflicts. To deactivate MIRROR.COM, remove or remark
the MIRROR.COM line from your AUTOEXEC.BAT file and restart your
computer.
 
Microsoft does not officially support the use of any TSR programs with
Works. Microsoft has not tested this configuration and therefore
cannot guarantee its results.
