Hello all.
Well, I tried Myles suggestion below and compared the list of modules used
and ... they are identical :(
I tried John's suggestion of turning on (detailed) map generation and
compared the 2 files... they are identical :(
It seems impossible to me but there is a difference -- 686k v 648k. Both
systems were installed only a couple of weeks apart and have the service
pack. No path defaults were changed on either machine. One machine has
RXLIBS installed but isn't used in the project. I think I may have to
uninstall & reinstall on both machines and see what happens.
I did a FC on the 2 EXE files and they start to differ quite early on --
around 0110H. I can send the 2 EXE's if anyone wants a challenge to
disassemble them.
Ross.
