Subject: ETen startup

Well, this might not help much but for what it's worth here's the batch
file I use to start ETen:

   et16n
   etinmd/PN=PHONETIC.TAB,XUSRPN.TBL/ph=pinyin.box

The error message you got about non-CSI system is probably from the etinmd
program, which loads the input methods.  CSI stands for Chinese System
Interface, so the first error message simply says that the Chinese system
was not detected in memory.  The input method will not load.

Be sure that you are running etinmd *after* the main ETen program,
which is (in my case, monochrome) et16n.  If you have a vga I think it
is et16v; ega is et16e.  However this may vary with different versions
of ETen.

Haven't ever seen the other message you mentioned.  I have some trouble
with ETen and DR DOS 6.0 also, and had trouble with ETen and MS-DOS 5.0 when
I was using that.  Things like sudden lockups, and an annoying feature of
sometimes remaining in memory even after sethrc is used.  I'm planning to
get 3.0 soon to see if it really fixes these problems, and will report
what I find out (if I can only get some time for this one of these days!)
