This reply solved my own queery and I thought I might add to it a little cos surely I'm not alone in missing the SPECS file editing. The docs clearly point out the rsxntdj\lib\SPEC file must be altered if you install RSXNTDJ into a different directory structure than the one described, however some of us not so experienced have missed the importance of the DRIVE (in this case f:) because we are used to the % symbol being used in place of the hard coding. ANYWAY, in case others have misplaced the drive lettering, here is the detail. In the SPECS. file appears the following:- *asm: *asm_final: *cpp: %{posix:-D_POSIX_SOURCE} %{Zmt: -D__MT__} %{Zdll: -D__DLL__} %{Zcrtdll*:- D__CRTRSXNT__}\ %{Zwin32: -D__WIN32__ -D__RSXNT__ -D__EMX__ -If:/rsxntdj/include} ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ *cc1: *cc1plus: *endfile: *link: %{Zwin32: -Lf:/rsxntdj/lib/all} ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I mistook the "-If" to represent (IF) and never considered (dumbly) the "f" was the drive label. Clearly it is and just as clearly I felt a goose, however the facts remain I battled for days with the installation when the answer was there in front of me.. My new SPECS. file has the "f" replaced with a "d" and rsxntdj is running smoothly... A public THANKYOU to all involved in this project and may the gods bless you with great riches... (OH! Well, Lifes like that Sumtimes) Regards Ron T Lewis Truckin On Web Site http://www.st.net.au/~lewisr ___ X CMPQwk #1.42X UNREGISTERED EVALUATION COPY
