Bugzilla knows that but... > Until/unless a downloadable TCPP 3.0 version is available, the bug report > will wait for a TCPP owner who is also a motivated FreeDOS developer with > the opportunity and ability to fix it. I disagree. A motivated FreeDOS USER can test the conditions under which the Turbo C++ 3.0 IDE crashes. Updating kernel (http://fdos.org/kernel/ recommended version is stable 8086 FAT32) and EMM386 / HIMEM might just as well already fix the problem - the original bug report is quite old now. If the crash happens even without EMM386 or even without EMM386 and HIMEM, then the Turbo C++ 3.0 DOS extender has a problem with our KERNEL in general. It is also quite "normal" for DOS extenders to have problems if too much RAM is available. Please check the HIMEM /? message and try things like /MAX=15M or /NOABOVE16 or /X or /X2MAX32 or a combination of them to make Turbo C++ happy. So no need to give up only because no FreeDOS DEVELOPERS have both Turbo C++ 3.0 and the motivation to FIX the problem - there can be ways to avoid the problem with methods that do not involve programming at all if we are lucky, but we need a TESTER who has Turbo C++ 3.0 for that!
