Hi !

A month ago I started to write my C-programs using PFE (Windows based editor).
Everything works fine (compiling in a DOS-box, running programs etc.).

Now I have to change something in an old program which is using the 
GRX-library. Well, compiling the program in a DOS-box is not any problem, 
but it would be fine if the program could run in a fullscreen-window. 
When I run the program without Windows everything is all right. But when I 
try to start it in a fullscreen-DOS-box I get the wellknown

General Protection Fault at eip=9fff
eax=00000000 ebx=000001e0 ecx=00000050 edx=00000000 esi=00000000 edi=d0000000
ebp=00053bb4 esp=00053b8c cs=b7 ds=af es=af fs=af gs=c7 ss=bf cr2=00003fe5
Call frame traceback EIPs:
  0x00009fff
  0x00007647
  0x0000511b
  0x00001861

answer. It is quite annoying to edit and compile a program using Windows but 
if I want to test it I have to go back to DOS.

Is there any chance to force GRX to work in a fullscreen-DOS-box ?
