Hi,

I've just installed dgjpp v112 (GCC 260) and have 
some problems:  perhaps someone can advise or explain.

----------------
Firstly, I had to use gcc-rm.exe:
the 32-bit gcc seems to have a memory leak.   
My GO32 environment variable includes 'topline'.  
With the 32-bit version of gcc, gcc kicks off with XMS > 4Mb 
but as it invokes cpp, cc1, as, ld, they only get about 500k to 
run in, so there is unacceptable thrashing.

With gcc-rm, by contrast, all the sub-programs find the 
expanded memory and everything seems ok.   
-------------------

My info installation worked fine except for the
two subsections that arrived (from lgp260dc.zip)  
already "texinfo'd", and no *.tex source with them to
allow me to rebuild the indexes.  When I choose one of these
items from the info menu it finds unresolved tags in the 
document.   I had to get the sources and rebuild the 
info files, and make a little change to djgpp/docs/djgpp/DIR 
(change a colon to a comma) to get it to work.   
I don't need help on this, but perhaps the distribution 
needs to be fixed.

----------------------

I'd like to try objective C, but my installation didn't work.
The test program djgpp\tests\t16 
compiles okay, but on linking it reports two errors
...  undefined reference to 'global constant keyed to main'
...  undefined reference to 'global constant keyed to object.m'

While on Objective-C, can someone recommend introductory reading?

----------------------
Finally, I know about the djgpp mailing list, but is there any
usenet newsgroup where these questions would have been
appropriate?

----------------------

Any help welcome.  Thanks

Peter
