Subject: GCC crashes DV/X



   From: Scott Raney <raney AT metacard DOT com>

     Running gcc (2.2.2) in a DOS window under DESQview/X frequently
   causes the system to lock up.  We haven't narrowed it down to a
   minimal sequence, but moving or sizing a window while gcc is running
   in a second window always seems to cause the problem, whereas running
   gcc in a single window seems to work OK.
     Anyone seen this?
       Scott

I suggest you open the memory status monitor supplied by QuarterDeck.
It  will tell you  how much memory left. I am running Motif inside
DVX. I find DVX+ MOTIF uses more than 4 MB memory. Using djgpp under
one dos window and opening another dos window  will use up almost all
my 8 Mb  memory. At that point, resizing windows or just even moving
mouse causes my system to lock up.
