What the heck are Run Time Error 100 and Run Time Error 110?
I had to re-install a DOS program on my 98 box, and everytime I open the
thing I get one or the other of those within minutes, even if I never
touch the keyboard.

Sounds application-specific to me, I don't recognize them as a MSDOS
kind of message. It's been a while though, I could be wrong.

The program was designed for DOS 4 I think, maybe 3?, but it ran fine on
the same box before I did the re-install. Irksome.

OK, if it was _me_, I'd build a Linux box, and then run MSDOS4 in a
vmware instance as a virtual machine. Take Windows out of the picture
entirely. It emulates dos6 fairly well, olders ones not so much. A
pristine environment that thinks it's all by itself is how I've done
things like this in the past. Also cuts down on virus concerns when the
virus would have to get through Linux to get to it.

I was looking for something other than an OS change to fix it, though? (g)

100 is usually an incorrect argument passed to a dos routine.
Are you running in a DOS window?
Paul Blair...

Run ScanDisk (yeah!).. 100 often means a bad sector. If the box is
connected to the web, also check for a possible virus.
