RESOLUTION

A non-alphabetic character was used in the CONFIG.SYS file to remark-out
a statement. For example, instead of:

   REM BASEDEV=IBM1S506.ADD

the statement might be:

   ;BASEDEV=IBM1S506.ADD

The use of the semicolon (;) results in the C0000005 error.

Make sure there are no such characters in the CONFIG.SYS statements.
