Subject: Running Gnu C programs under Windows (P.S.)

#include <the text of my other message on this subject>

  I also found that when I called the function `system()' (call a DOS command
from a djgpp program) in a (big) djgpp program called from within Windows, the
screen went blank and the system hung and I had to re-boot.

  All this happened while I was logged in to my local Novell net server. After
re-booting, I found that, while I was not logged in to my Novell server, in
DOS called from inside Windows:-
    (a) The DOS prompt was normal and included the current directory name,
    (b) The Gnu C functions getenv() and system() worked normally.
  What is the cause of this apparent triple clash between djgpp/go32 and
Windows (version 3.11) and my Novell net access program?
