From: "A.Appleyard" Organization: Materials Science Centre To: DJGPP AT DELORIE DOT COM Date: Thu, 19 Dec 1996 12:57:05 GMT Subject: EMS etc & v2 Message-ID: <45B50B3DA2@fs2.mt.umist.ac.uk> Please reply to me in person also, as I had to unsubscribe from djgpp because of email intray overload. I wrote a big Gnu C++ program called AAEMACS (a text editor). I put in its README file these instructions for people running it as compiled by djgpp v1:- > AAEMACS (and other Gnu C programs) will not run if the PC is in V86 mode > with no way to get back to real mode: thus it not run if EMM386 with the > NOEMS option has been called in that PC since it was booted last. If on > being called, AAEMACS dies part way through saying that it can't read file > INFO.DAT, try inserting the line EMM386 ON in your C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT and > rebooting. I know that the version as compiled by v2 needs a DPMI server; but what else conditions does it need, including the current state of such things as EMS and SMARTDRV etc that are often called from AUTOEXEC.BAT?
