Subject:	Running COFF's on non-DJGPP Machines

To whom it may concern;

     I am having trouble transfering DJGPP compiled "executables" to
other DOS machines.  The executables work fine on the machine on which
they were compiled.  Here is what I do:

1)  Compile using gcc command, no flags except -o.
2)  Copy go32.exe and the "executable" created by the compiler onto a
    floppy disk.
3)  Copy go32.exe and the "executable" from the floppy onto an empty
    directory on the recipient's hard drive.
4)  Create a temp directory on this hard drive and SET GO32TMP to it.
5)  Try to run the program by entering: go32 <executable name>.
6)  The go32 version line appears followed by a "segmentation
    violation" error message and what appears to be a table of
    addresses.
7)  In response to earlier messages on this subject, I've copied
    go32.exe into a directory in the recipient's PATH.  The results
    are identical to those described above.

The recipient's machine is a 486-DX (4 MB) with HIMEM installed,
running DOS 5.00.

Could the problem have something to do with DPMI?  Being a UNIX person
I'm unfamiliar with the in's and out's of DPMI.  Any help or
suggested reading would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.     Steve McKelvey  (mckelvey AT stolaf DOT edu)
