You don't need to: any DJGPP program will load CWSDPMI automatically at startup, and unload it when it exits. So you shouldn't be loading CWSDPMI in the first place. > (2) When running a program compiled with GCC2.81 (DJGPP) and using CWSDPMI > as the DPMI server, whenver the system() function is called, I get a "path > not found" message spoken. Are you sure the message reads "path not found"? There's no such text anywhere in the code associated with the `system' library function, so I wonder where does this message come from. Maybe JAWS changes your PATH setting so that some directories are removed from it? Please tell what argument do you pass to `system' in your program that causes the "path not found" message. > When I run a program compiled with GCC2.81 and CWSDPMI, I cannot save > program-specific configurations -- JAWS just does nothing but goes back to > the menu of configuration options as if it had saved but doesn't give the > "okay" spoekn token that it did so. > > I must go back to the MS-DOS command prompt to save configurations. What do you mean ``back to MS-DOS command prompt''? Didn't you just tell that JAWS is a TSR? If so, you should be at MS-DOS command prompt, even when JAWS is loaded, no? Anyway, to give you meaningful help, a lot more knowledge is required about how JAWS installs itself and how does it work. Please tell any details you know, or, better yet, cc: your messages to the author(s) of JAWS and ask them to join this discussion.
