Hi there,

I have a problem regarding make and 16 bit applications:

I am writing a program for a DSP and the compiler is a 16 bit one
(actually it is GCC), and when I try to compile using a makefile I get a
"16 bit DPMI not supported" message. To overcome this problem, I found an
old make utility called abmake, which can do the compilation. However,
when using it with emacs 19.34, which I have just installed it bombs
emacs.

When I say bombs emacs, I mean that I am able to load my .c file and when
I do "M-x compile RET abmake -f makefile.g21 -i RET" the machine waits for
a few seconds and then it do a cold reset (RAM test etc.).

If you would like, I could post the contents of my autoexec.bat and
config.sys and 'set>env.dat'

Has anyone experienced the same problem?

Thanks in advance.

Frank Frederiksen
