The long answer is lengthy and can be read about in detail by consulting the DJGPP Frequently Asked Questions list, available from this URL: ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2/faq201b.zip The specific question you are asking is answered in section 17.7. I recommend that you read at least the first 6 sections and all of sections 8, 9, 17, and 18. It is extremely well-written and _very_ useful. :) John -- Anything that happens, happens.
