I am running Windows NT 4.0 on a Pentium Pro 200 with 64Mb RAM and with
a 2G disk. I installed the various djgpp binaries (obtained from
simtel.net) by dowloading the zip files into c:\djgpp and unzipping them.
Among them: txi390b.zip, gro110b.zip, bnu27b.zip, fil313b.zip, shl112b.zip
I set TMPDIR=c:\tmp
I notice the following problems (among others):
1. When I run go32-v2.exe, it tells me that I have
DPMI memory available: 27435 Kb
DPMI swap space available: 0 Kb
That 0 looks suspicious. There is likely a serious problem here.
2. When I run info (from a DOS shell), it seems to work fine.
When I type: info gcc it seems to work fine.
But when I type: info groff
I get an error message: Bad command or file name.
3. df.exe seems unable to handle my large disk.
It tells me that I have 999968 1024-blocks (adds up to 1G)
and that I have used 0 of them, when I have 2G disk
and I have about 1.3G free.
4. groff works pretty well except that I got error messages
that inform me of a problem in \djgpp\share\groff\tmac\tmac.ps
Lines 52 and 53 of that file refer to files that have long filenames
but the system seems not able to find them.
When I replace the reference to tmac.pspic with the 8.3 compliant
name (on my system, that turned out to be tmac~1.psp)
that seemed to bandage the problem.
Any help would be deeply appreciated.
