Hello all, I have a question about declaring u_char things.

The problem seems that gcc doesn't like me when I try that,
Here is the requested info. that was asked for from the web page


Additionally, I grabbed the minimum files needed for installation,
and grabbed the Pentium Compiler optimized gcc stuff.

Also, I do show that I have types.h in the c:\djgpp\include\sys
directory.

Thanks alot.

Cameron Mallory

Usage: go32 coff-image [args]
Rename this to go32.exe only if you need a go32 that can run v2 binaries
as
 well as v1 binaries (old makefiles).  Put ahead of the old go32 in your
PATH
 but do not delete your old go32 - leave it in the PATH after this one.
Set GO32_V2_DEBUG=y in the environment to get verbose output.
