There might be some confusion here. Do *all* DJGPP programs crash
with a Page Fault when run first in the DOS box? Does this include
GCC and other programs supplied with the various *b.zip packages you
downloaded from SimTel.NET? Or are the crashes limited to the
programs you yourself wrote and compiled on your system?
Also, please post here the complete SYMIFY'ed crash message from one
of these crashes, it might reveal some important clues.
