DJGPP exists in several versions, each with its own bugs.

Please post source code. > and it appears that not much memory is allocated > (I can't put an exact figure on it, but no more than 5mb I think). How much hard drive space do you have left? What's the largest value of foo in pointer = malloc(foo); for which nothing breaks and pointer != NULL? Try starting values around 5000000 (five million) for foo. > If anyone can answer these questions, I would really appreciate it. If you can answer my questions, c.o.m.d may answer yours. -- Damian Yerrick CM 398, Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology 5500 Wabash Ave Terre Haute, IN 47803 http://come.to/yerrick
