You should install SMARTDRV before running cwsdpmi as a TSR. It isn't necessary to load cwsdpmi into memory to use it; as long as it is in your djgpp/bin directory, and the bin directory is in your PATH. But as long as you load SMARTDRV first, it should work fine. I can't see why SMARTDRV wouldn't run with cwsdpmi present, though... BTW, DJGPP should have no problems working under 386MAX; after all the latter has a fully DPMI 1.0-compliant DPMI host. What exactly have you been having trouble with? Posting some of the error messages you get would help us try to solve your problems. Hope this helps! -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- | John M.
