Hi Guys,
I'm new to posting messages on a news group discussion so please bare
with me.

I'm currently using the djgpp compiler running under XP as a cross-
compiler that is called through CodeWright editor.  The target system
is a 133 Mhz AMD 586 CPU board that boots from ROM-DOS.  When trying
to run the compiler under Vista I get the following error:

cc1plus.exe: out of memory allocating 65536 bytes after a total of
25209020 bytes

Also when I run go32-v2 in a dos window I get the following results:

go32/v2 version 2.0	built Dec 24 2001 21:25:02
Usage: go32 coff-image [args]
Rename ... (message to rename go32-v2)

DPMI memory available: 1489434 Kb
DPMI swap space	available: 0 Kb

I've read through previous mail messages that Vista limits the DPMI
memory to 32 MB but is there a way to limit how much memory the
compiler request so that the it still runs?

I've downloaded DOS BOX 0.72 and the compiler will run under this
application but it is extremely slow.  Also I haven't found a way to
run DOS BOX from CodeWright.  In additon, I've read from the website
http://www.trnicely.net/misc/vista.html that Microsoft wil fix the
problem in SP1 (for Vista 32 bit).  Vista SP1 should be available in
early 2008 but I really can't wait until then for a possible fix.

Would any be interested in modifying the compiler to run under Vista?

Thanks in advance for your comments.

Regards,

Mark Duckworth
