You need to set the TMPDIR environment variable to point to a writable
location.  By default, DJGPP will use f:/djgpp/tmp for the temp
directory, which won't work since you say that f: is read-only.  TEMP
and TMP aren't used by DJGPP.

I think I should add a test for TMPDIR to DJVERIFY, except that I still
haven't figured out how to test a drive/directory for writeability...
any ideas?

Your virtual memory is fairly low.  You should try to adjust the DPMI
memory settings under NT's MS-DOS emulator to give it at least 65535 KB
of memory.
