Hi folks,

Yesterday I wrote this message, but until today no real helpful answer
came back so I write it again with additionally informations.

Problem description:

Neither 'gcc hello.c -o hello.exe' or any other C program, nor 'gcc'
without any argument works on my computer. 
After waiting half a minute in all cases the 'out of virtual memory'
message appears. Before, the computer starts to swap. 
If I call 'mem' in my DOS window I get:

 655360 Bytes for DOS
 537168 Bytes for executable
 4194304 Bytes for EMS
 15570944 Bytes for XMS

If I call 'go32-v2' I get:

 go32/v2 version 2.0 built Aug 12 1996 22:27:23
 Usage: go32 coff-image [args]
 Rename this to go32.exe only if you need a go32 that can run v2
binaries as
 well as v1 binaries (old makefiles).  Put ahead of the old go32 in
your  PATH
 but do not delete your old go32 - leave it in the PATH after this one.
 Set GO32_V2_DEBUG=y in the environment to get verbose output.

 DPMI memory available: NUMBER Kb
 DPMI swap space available: 0 Kb

with number 53021 Kb at the first time, 39791 Kb the second time and
48415 every following call. The NUMBER might differ but every times the
second call is the lowest one !?!? (very strange, isn't it ?)

If I start only MS DOS, 'gcc' works very well. The produced executable
runs without any problems under Windows NT.

My Computer:

P200
64 MB
1 GB/HD
Windows NT 4/ Server


Thank You for all sufficient, helpful, practical, friendly or what ever
answers 

Michael !


P.S.: 
Does any one know what's to do for redirecting 'stderr' to a file with
MS-DOS ?? 4DOS takes '>&' but not MS-DOS.
