I believe your problem will be eliminated if you reduce the size of vd0:
to something a little more conserative (say 1 Meg).  As it is, you're
only leaving WordPerfect and DPaint a half a Meg of FAST to run in, and
neither is a particularly small program.  Nasty things *do* happen with
Facc if you make vd0: too large for your h/w configuration ... check the
recommendations in the Facc documentation (in the Mountlist, as I recall).
