what's NTVDM ?
I always use it in a DOS box.
I can't use makefile and have problems with keyboard and graphics =
commands.
I had used it before under plain DOS and some of my old programs don't =
work
in a DOS-box under XP.
So sometimes I have to boot DOS from disk and use DJGPP from there.
So, it works from DOS and from a DOS-box, but AFAIR there had been =
some problems,
when I first installed it.
