Hello,
We are a medium sise (50 people) hardware/software manufacturer of 
post-production video-equipment. We manufacture a PC based code reader 
for the cinema industry.
We are very familliar with Borland and MS C++ compilers, and want to move 
into 32 bit protected mode.
We decided to go DJGPP because we need a DOS real-time compiler. 

Problem:
At this time I am translating our 16Bit softwares into 32Bit with DJGPP. 
How can I solve the everyday (10 times a day) problems I encounter.

For example: trying to run the debugger for the first time, 
I got the message: 
<<  program received signal SIGFPE, 
arithmetic exception 0x3c33e in _strhold()  >> 

problem #2: one of my interruption handler has to handle IT from six 
separate sources, and needs reentrance capabilities. (most of the handler 
code is under_enable() ).
It seems that, using go32_dpmi_set_protected_mode_interrupt_vector, 
reetrance is not allowed... Is there a solution?

How can I get an answer to these problems in less than two minutes ? 
Reading the FAQs will eventually give me a solution but it will take me 
hours to dig into the FAQ pile.

Is there somewhere an indexed documentation or a structured FAQ 
compilation?

TIA,

Alain Bellet/Aaton
