Recently I bought a second IDE-drive.
I managed to install the new drive as master (C:) (western digital) and my
old drive as slave (D:) (seagate). It didn't work in the opposite
configuration. Since I want to use the new drive for a non-DOS
operating system I want to minimize the needed DOS stuff on that
drive. So on C: I have everything that is needed to boot and then
I switch to drive D:. After adapting all paths everything worked
fine except the possibility to compile with djgpp from Emacs.
I found out that the situation is the same if I suspend Emacs (^Z)
and type 'gcc ...' at DOS prompt. The compiler finishes without
any message and hasn't compiled at all. A 'make' returns with
'Error 1' or something like that. If I compile without Emacs
everything is fine. BTW: I use 4DOS but know that a return code
of 0 is needed for Emacs.

Is there anything in djgpp that uses explicitely drive C: and
cannot be influenced by an environment variable?

Please help! My turn-around time has increased dramatically!!! :-<
