Date: Wed, 22 Feb 1995 12:25:52 +0100 (MET) From: ZRS Subject: Some utilities crash under Windows. To: djgpp Maybe there is just a problem in my system, and maybe not... Trying to slowly changing my development with djgpp from DOS (emm386.exe) to Windows dos shell, I noticed some annoying problems with some often-used utilities and programs... As someone pointed out, Windows dos shell is one of the best development environments to simplify the jump to the upcoming DJGPP V2.0, so I'd like to use every util and program I'm used to under DOS. This is the list of util/programs and their problems... info.exe (2.10-p1) crashes windows on page scroll. make.exe (3.71) chashes windows on exec (or spawn, or ???? just run, say, make --version (or the like). v2-make-3.72.2.exe This is claimed to run only in DPMI envir., in fact it won't run under dos, BUT crashes under windows! find.exe Say DPMI: not enough memory. mst.exe (gnu smalltalk 1.1.1, compiled by me) DPMI: not enough memory. Well, maybe the last two are not a big problem (in particular the last, mst). This is my brief system config: i386sx 20MHz 4Mb RAM using 4dos in place of command.com Windows 3.1, 4Mb swap file djgpp 1.12m4 can't remember memory reported by go32.exe... Please help me... or, at least, give me suggestions about bypassing those problems... BAU! ZRS (roalz AT varano DOT ing DOT unico DOT it)
