Dear friends,
the other day I downloaded version 2 of DJGPP and installed it.
When I tried to run info.exe I got the following error message:

'Exiting due to signal SIGSEGV
 Stack Fault at eip=0000472e
 eax=00000000 ebx=00135358 ecx=0000ffff edx=00000430 esi=0012c8f0 edi=0012c974
 ebp=00060f64 esp=00000000 cs=0080 ds=0000 es=0000 fs=0000 gs=00e3 ss=3046
 Call frame traceback EIPs:
   0x0000472e'

I use the QEMM memory manager.

Go32_v2 gave the following message:
' ....
  DPMI memory available: 28544 Kb
  DPMI swap space available: 944 Kb'

After that I ran SWCDPMI.EXE and was able to start info.exe.

DJGPP v2 should be able to use the DPMI manager included with QEMM, right? I'm 
grateful for any information about what is going on here.

By the way: there is program called djasm.exe in the distribution. I assume
it is
an assembler. How is it different from as.exe? Is there any documentation?
