To: djgpp AT delorie DOT com DJ-Gateway: from newsgroup comp.os.msdos.djgpp Reply-To: djgpp AT delorie DOT com Hi! I am having a little trouble (again!). (This probably seems like a long time from last time I was here about almost the same problem, but I am busy with many projects on the go at once, and my motherboard crapped out for a while (keyboard controller fuse went!!)) Now that I got 387 emulation working, I get the following page fault (only when the program is run on a computer that requires 387 emulation - run the exact same exe on a 486 and it runs great!): Page Fault cr2=10000002 in RMCB at eip=0; flags=3006 eax=0 ebx=4f ecx=0 edx=34868 esi=3ebbc edi=34808 ebp=7 esp=c4044 cs=2b ds=b7 es=b7 fs=b7 gs=b7 ss=b7 error=0004 I am using the IPX library available from http://www.multimania.com/mine/djgpp.htm and for 387 emulation I am linking in lib387.a. If anyone else uses this IPX library, or knows it well, do you see any reason for this happening? Is there something that could be changed? (Is it something to do with dosbuff.c?) (I will also send an e-mail to "Erick Engelke" to see if he knows what the problem might be) It should also be noted that I have changed the library from it's original state. I changed it so it not only sends one string, but 3 doubles as well. Would this kind of change require a change in dosbuff.c? (Just as a reminder, I am not a lammer who only has a 386 and is asking this because I am too cheap to get a better computer. I am doing a parallel processing project for a grade 11 "English technical presentation" (think it is technical enough?!) and all my "slave comptuers" that actually do the calculations (of the Mandelbrot Set) are 386's) Any help would be GREATLY appreciated Andrew Hakman P.S. Isn't desoldering things from your motherboard such a pain in the butt?
