Hello,

thanks for your response, but I think the
problem is not the Installation of djgpp
or rhide, it is the DPMI-server itself.

I try to explain my problem
- I'm using caldera DrDos 7.03 as platform on
  a 486DX4/100 16MB and compile at the command-line.
  As testprograms I'm using "hello-world" wich
  waites for a keypress or rhide (as a more complex one).

Here the effects:
1) I'm running DOS with Caldera-Emm386 as DPMI-
   server.
   1.1. no TaskManager:
     - everything is fine. I get errormessges
       when compiling programs with systax errors
   1.2. TaskManager enabled, running 1 Task:
     - I get no errormessges when compiling
       programs with systax errors
   1.3. TaskManager enabled, running 2 Tasks
        with programms needing DPMI (Hello world)
     - normally it works, sometimes the system
       crashes or hangs.
2) I'm running DOS with cwsdpmi instead of DR-DOS-EMM386
   with DPMI enabled.
   1.1. no TaskManager:
     - everything is fine. I get errormessges
       when compiling programs with systax errors
   1.2. TaskManager enabled, running 1 Task:
     - everything is fine. I get errormessges
       when compiling programs with systax errors
   1.3. TaskManager enabled, running 2 Tasks
        with programms needing DPMI (Hello world)
     - I get the error mesage:
       "Warning: cannot open swap file C:\cwsdpmi.swp"
     - or the system crashes.

So my problems are:
- I can't compile when the Taskmanager ist enabled (when
  using EMM386 of DR-DOS as dpmi-server)
- I can't run two programms build with djgpp without crash.

Do I try the impossible (Caldera Tasmanager and Protected
mode-programms, did I have a configuration problem or do
I need another DPMI-Server ?

Greetings Alex


P.S. Sorry for my bad english :-)
