Hi!

I am having a little trouble (again!). (This probably seems like a long
time from last time I was here about almost the same problem, but I am
busy with many projects on the go at once, and my motherboard crapped
out for a while (keyboard controller fuse went!!))

Now that I got 387 emulation working, I get the following page fault
(only when the program is run on a computer that requires 387 emulation
- run the exact same exe on a 486 and it runs great!):

Page Fault cr2=10000002 in RMCB at eip=0; flags=3006 eax=0 ebx=4f ecx=0
edx=34868 esi=3ebbc edi=34808 ebp=7 esp=c4044 cs=2b ds=b7 es=b7 fs=b7
gs=b7 ss=b7 error=0004

I am using the IPX library available from
http://www.multimania.com/mine/djgpp.htm
and for 387 emulation I am linking in lib387.a. If anyone else uses this
IPX library, or knows it well, do you see any reason for this happening?
Is there something that could be changed? (Is it something to do with
dosbuff.c?) (I will also send an e-mail to "Erick Engelke" to see if he
knows what the problem might be)

It should also be noted that I have changed the library from it's
original state. I changed it so it not only sends one string, but 3
doubles as well. Would this kind of change require a change in
dosbuff.c?

(Just as a reminder, I am not a lammer who only has a 386 and is asking
this because I am too cheap to get a better computer. I am doing a
parallel processing project for a grade 11 "English technical
presentation" (think it is technical enough?!) and all my "slave
comptuers" that actually do the calculations (of the Mandelbrot Set) are
386's)

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated

P.S. Isn't desoldering things from your motherboard such a pain in the
butt?
