Subject:	Re: DPMI Error

   The error line says that your program is using Rational Systems' DOS/16M 
   DOS extender, which is a protected-mode, *16-bit* DOS extender for *286* 
   and above computers. It's not a 32-bit flatmode extender (like the more 
   famous DOS/4G, also from Rational, which was used to produce Doom2), and so 
   has the limitations of DOS, such as no virtual memory, 64K-segment 
   limit, and a host of other ills. CWSDPMI doesn't support 16-bit DPMI 
   applications, AFAIK. Maybe another DPMI server (eg Windoze) will work, 
   although I'm not sure if 16-bit DPMI apps can coexist with 32-bit apps, 
   even if the server allows it.

   Good luck,

Thanks for the info.  Windoze _does_ support this application, it is
just when it is executed from within the DJGPP version of GNU Make
that it fails.  Hopefully, I will be able to find some way around
this...
