Are you actually running it under a "command" prompt or a "cmd" prompt?

Since "command.com" is a DOS emulator for NT, the InsufficientMemory Error
sounds like a problem that might occur in DOS emulation...

cmd (CMD.EXE) is a NT native app.

Just some thoughts...

So, what do I need to download to get gcc to work?
(If I could download, which I can't because I get an Insufficient Memory
message if I try to run
it from a
WinNT Command Prompt window. After 2 requests to this group, I STILL have no
clue about what to
do to fix this problem!)
