Subj : Turbo C++ 3.0 for DOS

I've recently upgraded my PC from a 586 75 MHz to an AMD K6-2 200 MHz.
I've also upgraded from Warp 3 to Warp Server 3.0 with LAN server 5.
I've installed FP42.  I now find that I can't run Turbo C++ 3.0.  I can
modify settings & put a * in the command line so I get to a DOS prompt.
That works fine.  I've played with the DOS memory Settings & can't find
anything that works.  Anytime I try to run TC I get a Trap 000e.

I do have a couple thoughts, perhaps someone can tell me if I'm right or
wrong or provide some other ideas.

1.  This is not a fresh install of TC.  I copied it from my old machine.
Thus, TC is set to come up in 80x50 text mode.  I know that on this
machine 80x50 doesn't work in a DOS screen.  I'm getting a new VGA card
and am waiting for that to arrive rather than try to figure out why it
doesn't work now.  Could that be causing the problem?

2.  I now have 128 MB RAM.  I had 48MB on the old machine.  Could
passing the 64 MB limit be causing problems?  Should I have the BIOS
setting for > 64 MB set to OS/2?  (I don't remember what I have it set
to.)

3.  I've tried changing the dpmi from enabled to disabled (TC won't run)
and auto, but it doesn't seem to matter.  I've also tried elminating xms
memory and/or ems memory, but that didn't seem to change things either.
I first thought it was a DPMI problem, but now I don't know if it is
DPMI or video.
