Question, then: I beta-test for a coder who works with DJGPP under
Win95. I test our app exclusively in real DOS. About half the time when
there's a bug, the program runs just fine under Win95 in a DOS box (both
for the coder and my testing partner) but segviols before it even gets
fully loaded under real DOS with CWSDPMI. Sometimes this happens even
with trivial bugs, like a wonked menu item. I realise this is vague, but
anything in particular which causes this dichotomy (bug has no effect
under Win95, dies spectacularly under DOS) ??? ISTM if we knew what
sort of things cause this, we (ie. our coder) could avoid 'em up front.
I'm tempted to rename this thread "DOS kills escaped bugs" :)
