In fact, you were not using CWSDPMI all the time. The startup code checks if there is already any DPMI host running and load CWSDPMI only if none is found. So you do not need it. The zip picking utility should not be changed, because if you are giving away compiled programs that run under DOS, you should also add a copy of CWSDPMI.EXE. -- Ciao Tom ************************************************************* * Thomas Demmer * * Lehrstuhl fuer Stroemungsmechanik * * Ruhr-Uni-Bochum * * Universitaetsstr. 150 * * D-44780 Bochum * * Tel: +49 234 700 6434 * * Fax: +49 234 709 4162 * * http://www.lstm.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/~demmer * *************************************************************
