My machine: PentiumII-266,64mb RAM, running NT4. I open up a Command > Prompt to do my compiles. You need to set the TMPDIR environment variable to point to a writable location. By default, DJGPP will use f:/djgpp/tmp for the temp directory, which won't work since you say that f: is read-only. TEMP and TMP aren't used by DJGPP. I think I should add a test for TMPDIR to DJVERIFY, except that I still haven't figured out how to test a drive/directory for writeability... any ideas? > DPMI memory available: 11511 Kb > DPMI swap space available: 3849 Kb Your virtual memory is fairly low. You should try to adjust the DPMI memory settings under NT's MS-DOS emulator to give it at least 65535 KB of memory. -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- | John M.
