eli, thanks for the correction. here however is the real puzzle. not
only does the program
#include <stdlib.h>
int main(void)
{
return system("chkdsk");
}
work correctly when compiled with 16 bit msvc 1.52 and 32 bit msvc 4.0,
it also works correctly when compiled using
gcc -Zwin32 chk.c -o chk.exe
(using the original ld.exe) with rsxntdj 1.3.1. i am not sure what this
shows. any ideas?
