I understand that other DJGPP programs do run on your machine, since you 
have succeeded in compiling your program.

If so, the reason is that your program somehow requests a bogus (too 
large) memory amount for its code and data size.  Perhaps you compiled 
the program with an incorrect command line.  What was the command line 
you used?

Also, if you compile a simple hello world program, does it run or does it 
print the same error message?

This is from the old v2.01 distribution.  I suggest to upgrade to v2.02, 
sinve 2.01 is no longer maintained.

What do you mean ``gcc for Windows 95''?  DJGPP doesn't have special 
compilers for each platform, it uses the same compiler binary on all 
systems.  Are you sure you used gcc.exe from gcc281b.zip that is part of 
the DJGPP package?  If you used another compiler, it is very probable 
that the resulting executable will utterly confuse DJGPP.
