Erik,

I too have had problems attempting to compile with DJGPP under Win2K. I
receive fatal errors from Win2K that DJGPP has attempted to access
memory locations with write access, and that Win2K has denied it.

I would guess, that it probably has to do with DJGPP's use of memory
management (i.e. DOS protected). Under Win 9x, a true DOS environment
can be setup since Win 9x is actually running on top of DOS. In Win2K,
however, their is no actual DOS, only a "command interpreter" or
emulator that acts like a limited DOS.

I doubt it's going to start working until changes are made in DJGPP
itself with regards to NT/Win2K.

Dustin
