In addition, 7.00 "freeware" onward freezes some of my "modern" DOS bare metal systems immediately when running ASTRA.EXE - no display - immediate hard system freeze needing power off & restart, whereas versions before 7.00 ran fine on all my "modern" systems. By "modern" systems, I refer to various laptops with Intel core chips from 6th to 9th gen chips, running with the onboard Intel GPU and no other strange TSRs except XMS manager on MS-DOS 7.10. All the systems have 8 GB to 16 GB onboard system RAM (DDR3/4).
