Subject: The go32 error ...

Thank you for answering.

First, I don't think I have to small environment space, I have put /e:8000
at the shell line.
Second, I have searched all disk partitions for go32.exe and have found only
one. The version is 1.12.maint2 as can be seen from the output below.

I have a theory of what happens myself: the merged version of stub.exe runs
	go32 options ... 
instead of 
	go32 merged_coffile options ... 
At least that would explain the error messages pretty well.

I have rebuilt gasp now. Running the coff file works fine, but when I convert
it with 
	coff2exe gasp 
and try to run gasp.exe the error occurs. On the other hand it works fine if
I convert with 
	coff2exe -s gasp

Here are three commandlines that fail for some of the binaries that are in
the djgpp packages (so far I have had problems with gasp.exe and sed.exe).

The command lines are followed by the results:

Here is my autoexec.bat file:

Thank you for your answers, it would be so great if this could be solved!
