From: "A.Appleyard" To: DJGPP AT SUN DOT SOE DOT CLARKSON DOT EDU Date: Fri, 26 May 1995 11:05:04 BST Subject: Gnu C versus Windows versus Novell Net I have Windows for Workgroups. Previously, if I had called Novell:- (a) Gnu C++ programs called in Windows ran OK except that the (Gnu C `system()' subroutine to call DOS) didn't work; (b) Windows's `DOS prompt' icon worked, except that in DOS-in-Windows the prompt showed as only `C>' without the cud=rrent dierctory name. But now, trying to call a Gnu C++ program from Windows (whether from an icon or from the File Manager, instead causes a Windows fault box "This application has violated integrity due to a general protection fault and will be terminated" (or similar). Clicking the Windows `DOS prompt' icon causes the same. (All of these run OK if I haven't called my Novell server since booting.) What the !"stlg$%^&*()==~#@' is going on!?!?!?!!? When I login to Novell, I get this:- "Netware Workstation Shell v3.32 (931117)". The only recent change that I know of is that a few days ago a WWW access program called Netscape was put in my PC. (When these faults happened I had not called C:\NET\BIN\TCPIP.EXE or my WWW access program since booting.) These changes were made to my C:\WINDOWS\SETUP.INI :- variorum listfile on Fri May 26 07:59:14 1995 of these files:- file 1 = system.ini, 2607 chars, 153 lines file 2 = system.old, 2553 chars, 152 lines [F 1][F 2] 1 1 [boot] 2 2 shell=progman.exe 3 3 network.drv= 4 4 mouse.drv=mouse.drv 5 5 language.dll=langeng.dll 6 6 sound.drv=mmsound.drv 7 7 comm.drv=comm.drv 8 8 keyboard.drv=keyboard.drv 9 9 system.drv=system.drv 10 10 386grabber=avga.3gr 11 11 oemfonts.fon=vgaoem.fon 12 12 fixedfon.fon=vgafix.fon 13 13 fonts.fon=vgasys.fon 14 display.drv=16_1280.drv 14 display.drv=64k_1024.drv 15 drivers=mmsystem.dll 15 drivers=mmsystem.dll winmm16.dll 16 16 286grabber=vgacolor.2gr 17 17 SCRNSAVE.EXE=C:\WINDOWS\SSSTARS.SCR 18 18 19 19 [keyboard] 20 20 keyboard.dll=kbduk.dll 21 21 subtype= 22 22 type=4 23 23 oemansi.bin=xlat850.bin 24 24 25 25 [boot.description] 26 26 keyboard.typ=Enhanced 101 or 102 key US and Non US keyboards 27 27 mouse.drv=Microsoft, or IBM PS/2 28 28 language.dll=English (International) 29 29 system.drv=MS-DOS System 30 30 codepage=850 31 31 woafont.fon=Multi-Lingual (850) 32 32 aspect=100,96,96 33 33 display.drv=CL-GD5426/GD5428 v1.43 Windows drivers 34 34 network.drv=No Network Installed 35 35 secondnet.drv=No Additional Network Installed 36 36 37 37 [386Enh] 38 device=C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\WIN32S\W32S.386 39 38 device=*vmcpd 40 39 WinExclusive=0 41 40 device=D:\VC\BIN\dosxnt.386 42 41 device=D:\VC\BIN\mmd.386 43 42 32BitDiskAccess=ON 44 43 device=*int13 45 44 device=*vpd 46 45 mouse=*vmd 47 46 ebios=*ebios 48 47 woafont=app850.fon 49 48 display=vdd542x.386 50 49 EGA80WOA.FON=EGA80WOA.FON 51 50 EGA40WOA.FON=EGA40WOA.FON 52 51 CGA80WOA.FON=CGA80WOA.FON 53 52 CGA40WOA.FON=CGA40WOA.FON 54 53 keyboard=*vkd 55 54 network=*dosnet,*vnetbios 56 55 netheapsize=16 57 56 device=*vcd 58 57 device=*vpicd 59 58 device=*vtd 60 59 device=*reboot 61 60 device=*vdmad 62 61 device=*vsd 63 62 device=*v86mmgr 64 63 device=*pageswap 65 64 device=*dosmgr 66 65 device=*vmpoll 67 66 device=*wshell 68 67 device=*PAGEFILE 69 68 device=*vfd 70 69 device=*parity 71 70 device=*biosxlat 72 71 device=*combuff 73 72 device=*cdpscsi 74 73 device=vtdapi.386 75 74 device=vpmtd.386 76 75 device=vcomm.386 77 76 device=serial.386 78 77 device=lpt.386 79 78 device=ifsmgr.386 80 79 device=vcache.386 81 80 device=vfat.386 82 81 device=vshare.386 83 82 local=CON 84 83 FileSysChange=off 85 84 COM3Irq=4 86 85 COM3Base=03E8 87 86 COM4Irq=3 88 87 COM4Base=02E8 89 88 PermSwapDOSDrive=C 90 89 PermSwapSizeK=19687 91 90 device=*blockdev 92 91 device=vsbpd.386 93 92 SysVMIn2ndBank=FALSE 94 93 95 94 [NonWindowsApp] 96 95 localtsrs=dosedit,ced 97 96 98 97 [vcache] 99 98 minfilecache=2048 100 99 101 100 [mci] 102 101 WaveAudio=mciwave.drv 103 102 Sequencer=mciseq.drv 104 103 CDAudio=mcicda.drv 105 104 AVIVideo=mciavi.drv 106 105 107 106 [drivers] 108 107 timer=timer.drv 109 108 midimapper=midimap.drv 110 109 Midi=sb16fm.drv 111 110 Midi1=sb16snd.drv 112 111 Wave=sb16snd.drv 113 112 Aux=sb16aux.drv 114 113 VIDC.MSVC=msvidc.drv 115 114 VIDC.RT21=indeo.drv 116 115 117 116 [DDEShares] 118 117 CHAT$=winchat,chat,,31,,0,,0,0,0 119 118 SCHAT$=winchat,chat,,31,,0,,0,0,0 120 119 CLPBK$=clipsrv,system,,31,,0,,0,0,0 121 120 HEARTS$=mshearts,hearts,,15,,0,,0,0,0 122 121 123 122 [Network] 124 123 winnet=nonet 125 124 multinet=nonet 126 125 FileSharing=No 127 126 PrintSharing=No 128 127 129 128 130 129 131 130 [network drivers] 132 131 devdir=C:\WINDOWS 133 132 LoadRMDrivers=No 134 133 135 134 [CLVGA] 136 135 cursor=0x0 136 videomode=0x58 137 videomode=0x65 138 137 dpi=0x60 139 138 [sndblst.drv] 140 139 Port=220 141 140 Int=5 142 141 DmaChannel=1 143 142 MidiPort=330 144 143 HDmaChannel=5 145 144 SaveOnExit=0 146 145 147 146 [svga256.drv] 148 147 resolution=2 149 148 dpi=96 150 149 svgamode=92 151 150 ChipSet=Cirrus Logic 542x 152 151 LatchCapable=Yes 153 152
