Software (such as APS software), follow these steps.
1. Exit from Windows if necessary. Make sure that
INTERCHANGE is not running.
2. Type ABICSTOP at the DOS prompt. For example, type:
C:\> ABICSTOP.
3. If ABICSTOP is not successful, comment out ABICRUN in the
AUTOEXEC.BAT file:
REM CALL ABICRUN.BAT
Reboot the computer and run ABICSTOP again.
4. Run the other software.
