Everything causes the system to reboot, all djgpp-built programs, gcc,
gxx, etc. I compiled the hello program on
an NT machine and moved the executable to the DOS one.  I don't think that
it's the program code because it runs fine on NT, but I'll post it, and
the autoexec.bat and config.sys files when I get back on that machine
tomorrow.  I'll also try the go32-v2.exe program and see what happens. My
guess is that it'll also reboot like everything else.  I think it is
CWSDPMI that is the problem because NT doesn't use CWSDPMI. If it helps,
the offending machine is an embedded PC-104. It has a 386 processor and
is, of course, running DOS.  
						Thanks,
