One thing I can tell you is this: when you use: void main(void) you stand a chance of letting the compiler produce corrupt code... This may or may not be your problem.. (Probably not in gcc... but you never know in other compilers.) Try: int main(void) and a return 0 at the end of your program... This is where Dos gets its ERRORLEVELs from.. the return value of the program... -Sam
