You need the original 1.12 files and the maintenance patches 1 through 4. However, you should be aware that version 1.x is no longer supported, as version 2 is out now. If you are using version 2 of djgpp, you don't need go32 anymore, as it has been replaced by cwsdpmi, the free DPMI provider that has been created for DJGPP. The latest version can be found as: ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2misc/csdpmi3b.zip If you are trying to run v1.x programs with v2, you need a copy of the go32.exe from v1.x. There is a version of go32 that comes with version 2 called 'go32-v2.exe', but it cannot run v1.x programs without the old go32.exe present. See the 'readme.1st' file for information on how to set up go32-v2 to run old v1 programs. (go32-v2 is included with version 2 mainly for compatibility reasons, and as a means to run unstubbed v2 images.) John -- Anything that happens, happens.
