Hi Eli,
	Your fix solved the problem.  I set DPMI Memory to 65535.

		Thanks Ian.

Did you set up the DOS box to have 64MB of DPMI memory?  If not, open
the 
property sheets under Memory, click on the "DPMI Memory" and type
manually 
"65536", then click Apply, OK, and try again.  You should see that the 
sum of two numbers reported by go32-v2 is about 64MB.  If it isn't so, 
exit RHIDE and try again (I don't think RHIDE shouls affect the sum of 
the two numbers, though).

17MB is not ``lots of RAM''.  The linker sometimes needs a lot of
memory, 
and 17MB might not be enough.  You need to make sure that the total 
amount of Virtual memory (the sum of two numbers reported by go32-v2) is 
64MB.
