Maybe someone can figure this one: installed freedos base on an old dell(ten years);installed djgpp with rhide; acted very buggy and refused to compile even a hello world; rebooted with 'himem' option, and now it compiles and executes. However, I then tried a larger program with eight functions, and it too, compiled and 'created' with no problems. Tried to run the executable and got this: page fault at 0x00001ba1;error 0006; I'm sure that the program partially executed since the mouse cursor was left on the screen, and my program involves a mouse event handler. The program involves calls to 'int86', but this should not crash anything, since even the NT dosbox allows this. Was I deluded all this time into thinking djgpp was 'backward compatible' with a true dos system, and I just never strained the high memory aspect until now? --kurt<wb2...@gmail.com>.
