Well, the 2+ files are located in the same directory. I had also set the
include option menu to point to "./" just to be sure. Also the file
names are different. The problem has started occuring when one of my
source files has grown larger (2K lines). The out of sequence trace
occurs at different points when I compile the code in NT and in Win95.

Anyways, I shall get the the 2.8 version and give it a shot. No C++ code
for me to worry about for now.

Thanks for your time,

Regards

Siva

P.S: APart from that DJGPP and RHIDE are excellent adaptations.
