Subject: no error message for wrong device driver name
Status: O

Hi there,

I had a problem with getting go32 to work with my graphics driver. It
turned out that I was using d:\djgpp\tseng4 instead of d:\djgpp\tseng4k!
This little "k" killed me. I was 100% sure that my statement was correct,
so I was trying to fix my graphics card, and everything. What a mess!!!
If DJGPP gave me an error message like

"Graphics driver d:\djgpp\tseng4.grd not found"

I would fix the error the very very very first second. I have spent so
much time.

DJ, please change GO32 so that it will display such an error message in
case a non-existent or bad driver is given...

Take care
Tolga
