The vpix command 'quit' is broken in that version (fixed--more or less--
in 1.2.0).  Try using the menu (Alt-sysreq m followed by quit) to exit.
You will probably also have to disable the dos under unix and unix
under dos capabilities.  I have to do that even in 1.2.0 to get the
thing to work under X-windows.  I have two accounts 'name' and 'namevpix'
with the home directory of namevpix set to ~name/msdos.  Then I can log into
both on different virtual terminals to work unix and dos at the same time.

I never got either version to work in color (comment out the VGAROM line
in vpix.cnf to use the board's bios).
