I'm having two silly problems with djgpp version 1.10. The first is that the
initialisation module crt0.o that comes with it (date 05-31-93) calls a routine
called _setstack (__setstack in the corresponding crt0.s file) that the linker
cannot subsequently find. I found setstack.s in \libsrc\c\sys, assembled it,
and added it to libc.a. Was that the proper thing to do, or did I make a
mistake at some earlier stage?

The next problem has to do with the sample code in \samples\grtask. No matter
whether I use the old executable generated by the version 1.09 compiler or a
new one from the version 1.10 compiler, it does not work correctly with the new
go32, although it does with the version 1.09 go32. I have the driver
environment variable correctly set. In fact, I have tried this on two or three
different machines, with different super VGA cards needing different drivers,
but the problem always appears in the same form. What happens is that the video
does not go into graphics mode. The color changing takes place all right, but
it simply affects the text that happened to be on the screen before I ran the
program. Has anyone encountered this problem? More important, is there a fix? I
don't really want to have to use the old go32 with any graphics program I
compile!

Thanks for any help.
