This is the dump, I had to type this in manually as you can't access the dos
box after the fault with copy command and redirecting the output doesn't work
either.  It will normally get to the last braket of release or the "-lang"
part and stops printing, but when you move the error message box the rest
appears, I assume this is just a screen refresh issue, as it would have
stopped execution of the code when it triggered the exception.

My only thought is the last command line - is the last backslash the problem
as the rest are UNIX style (on MSDOS?) .

It's a mcafee VirusScan suite, the TSR is VShield, I right-click it's image in
the icon tray next to the clock and select exit, I presume this should be
sufficient to remove it from memory...

The same thing happens anyway, with the same error details.  I wouldn't think
that a virus scanner would interfere with a compile, I could understand if the
program was running and doing some low level commands and then it fails, but
not a compile.

What is in my icon tray as I start up...
* Task Scheduler
* Windows volume icon
* Creative Mixer
* McAfee Scheduler
* Instant Messenger (AIM)
* Adeptec Direct CD Wizard
* SBLive!
* RealPlayer
