At least 4 things have > changed, and one of them fixed it. I thought I sent my previous message to djgpp list, but only to you... I also did a small test. With default settings (4MB DPMI, etc.) of an OS/2 Warp DOS session, djgpp's regular gcc didn't crash even after 30 recompilations in one window. So, I assume that djgpp does not have any problems with OS/2 Warp's DOS session. FAQ listed the crash problem (#2.2), but I think the problem has been fixed in OS/2 Warp. My djgpp version is 1.12.maint3. I think djgpp's memory requirement has been also improved. I recall that 4MB DPMI was not enough for old djgpp (5MB required), but now djgpp can run with small memory. //-------------------------------------------------------------------- // Wonkoo Kim // wkim+@pitt.edu
