Most of them most of the times exits with a stack trace consisting of only one level backtrace. But sometimes some of them runs. This means that if I start some of them 20 times in succession then in one try they run without any errors, but most of the time they just quit with a segmentation error. I was able to compile them with DJGPP 2 without any problem, simply running make. I have tried the following combinations so far: Pentium 100 Mhz system, w. 40 Mbytes RAM, 2 GBytes Quantum IDE drive (free space about 300 Mbytes), 2 Mbytes Trio64 video card - Under Win95 in a DOS window - under plain DOS 6.22 with Himem only and with QEMM (but no qdpmi) A DX266 system with 16 Mbytes memory, 340 Mbytes HD, Trident 8900 CL video card - Under Win95 in a DOS window - under plain DOS 6.22 with Himem only and with QEMM (but no qdpmi) I found that the programs stop in 'allegro_init'. Oh, I just see, that perhaps the problem is not with Allegro itself, but with the 'palantir' event library of Dim Zegebart, as I have incorporated it in allegro before the make. I will re-make Allegro again without it, and come back with he results. Andras
