Subject:	Re: Problem with 263

Thanks to all those who helped.  I got the problem solved
(apparently).

I simply put 'DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE 3000' in my config.sys
and rebooted and all is well.

I don't spend much time in the DOS world so I don't pretend to
understand all the different memory managers available, but I do know
that I never had to put this line in my config.sys before.  (I have
been using DJGPP for a couple of years now in various revisions).
When did this change?  What prompted the change?  Where is it
documented?  (I have looked in all the documents that got extracted to
my disk and could not find any mention of this -- or any other related
change).

Perhaps it is not really important that I understand all the
ramifications of this but I would like to have been warned.

Oh, well.  DJGPP is a great piece of work.  By and large I prefer it
to my Borland C++ (3.1).  I am sure willing to put up with a few
wrinkles in making it work.  And the tech support is by far more
thorough (and faster) than I have ever experienced with Borland (8-^).

Thanks again for all the help.
