This is exactly my problem nowadays. On exactly the same machine (TP 770
P233MMX, 96MB SDRAM, Win95 OSR2.0).
Has it ever been solved?
I can't run even go32-v2.exe regularly. Sometimes it runs, moreoften the
whole system hangs and has to be rebooted.
The same happens for gcc, info, etc.
I installed the same stuff on an old PS/2 with 8MB RAM, works fine, but
the compiled exe when transferred to the Thinkpad has the
same abend. Please help...
