Charles,

If I remember correctly, ML 6.11 was almost the last DOS version of
ML.EXE where the later paches and version are 32 bit PE versions. The
CLS routines from DOS to 32 bit CMD console are different in how they
work with real mode DOS direct memory writes being a lot faster than
CMD console output. If its bashing through a mountain of seperate
modules you will probably see the titlebar flickering through
displaying each name on the way through.

You could probably solve the problem by doing the build in a true DOS
installation, 6.22 or perhaps the DOS version under win98se but it may
not be worth the effort bothering.

Its been a very long time since I have used DOS ML and LIB but from
memory they can both handle batch builds using response files so it may
be worth having a look at doing the build that way.
