| ive read all the faq's and pretty much everything else i found online but
i couldnt
| find an answer, if u can spare me a few minutes it will be most
appreciated...
|
| im using windows xp, trying to load djgpp (im studying programming at uni)
im
| fairly new to c++ but i had it running on my previous pc(windows 98) i
just cant
| seem to get it to work on this laptop. ive loaded all the relevant zips
and files for
| xp but i cant even compile! the gxx or gcc or gpp commands are not
recognised
| (im using the command prompt in win xp, there is no dos prompt, could this
have
| anything to do with it ?)
| also, second problem, while i was loading the gpp321b.zip file, when it
came to
| cxxfilt.exe, it told me there was already an existing file with the same
name, it
| asked whether it should replace it or if i should rename it ?? i wasnt too
sure so i
| renamed it , should i have let it replace the existing one ? could this be
the
| problem for it not recognising the gxx command?
| ive modified my autoexec.bat file as was shown in the readme1st file,
should i
| have also edited the path variable in the environement variables ??
|
| im sorry for any inconvenience, but i seriously had no where else to
contact for
| help, ive tried all sources possible before writing to you..
| your soonest reply will be much appreciated
| thanx in advance

I don't have WinXP, and I got the info from somewhere for installing
AeroWinX PS1 (which appears to use VDMS).

Check the shortcut to command prompt - click start -> programs, and
right-click Command Prompt (or whatever your command prompt shortcut is
called). Click on the Program tab and click Advanced. This'll give you a
dialog for the Autoexec.NT and Config.NT files. Open these files in Notepad.
Config.NT is basically the same as Config.SYS, except that it appears that
WinXP handles the EMS itself (due to already being in protected mode).
Autoexec.NT also is basically the same as Autoexec.BAT. However, the page I
saw has a
    lh %SystemRoot%\system32\dosx.exe
which sounds like it's the DPMI. Appearantly, it's required for DPMI
applications to work.
