When executing GMAKE 3.71 for DJGPP in the GO32 mode, I get the following
error message "Loadrer Error (0025): cannot initialize" just after I attempt
to invode the BCC compiler. Does anyone have an idea how to fix this? It 
looks like I am close to getting it to work, but I am lost as to what to 
do next. I have included what I see on my screen durring execution of my 
make files... Thanks for all your help!
