Hi, all!!

Can I ask U a very stupid question?
(I'm using DJGPP v2.01)
If so, here it:
   Why LD.EXE hangs when linking a small program with a probability
   approx. 10%? Usually it is not very painfully (I'm a proud user
   of IBM OS/2 Warp V3.0), but sometime, when I working in DOS, ... :(
   My system is: (i486DX2/66 GenuineIntel, VLB, 16Mb RAM, Cirrus Logic
   CL-GD5428 with 1Mb VRAM, Micropolis 4110-Nov_18FTN0F hard drive (1Gb,
   Fast SCSI-2) with BusLogic BusMaster SCSI host adapter BT-545S).
   Running DOS 6.22, OS/2 Warp, microbug windows95.
   Here are configuration file contests:

   I can't put any information from ld, because it only hangs w/o any
error/warning messages... Usually I'm linking 2-3 *.o files and [+] -lpc
(libpc.a). LD hangs in both DOS and OS/2 (I'm starting windows only for
work with some programs that is only for microbug windoze95(i.e, GIF
Animator from MacroSoft...).

                                                                 Thanx.
Have a nice DOS/WINDOWS/OS/UNIX/.../.../BEER/DOOM/QUAKE/.../..../...

PS: *ALL!!!* DOES ANYBODY HAS/KNOWS, HOW TO GET (ANY) DOCUMENTATION ON
INTERNET PROGRAMMING WITH (DJ)GPP, MAYBE FOR UNIX/FreeBSD? Thanx.

PPS: How about to use FTP server re.tsu.tomsk.su for a distribution of
programs written in djgpp/something else? This server is fast to work
in Siberia, and faster (IMHO/AFAIK), than Simtel.net, in Russia....
It is tooooooooo slooooooowwwww to work with simtel.net from here...
(approx 50 bytes_per_second, minimum is 1 bps, max 2kbps). Don't flame
it, please.... Visit it, and, maybe, you'll find some interesting for
you here... WWW access is under the construction now, so please use FTP.
Any suggestions/questions, mail to den AT re DOT tsu DOT tomsk DOT su. (please make
distinguishing subject in order to find YOUR message in a BIG HEAP of
others...).
