Period. On some 1.x setups you got the right results but not on all. It escapes me for the moment why it doesn't compile, though. >And is it really a good thing having to deal with a DPMI host all the time? >All it does is wasting memory! Try to convince me please! The DPMI host uses about the same amount of memory as go32 did. When you run nested programs (like when compiling) you use a lot _less_ memory wiht the dpmi setup. Morten
