[I had djgpp already, but I had not used it much, and now my wife needs a C complier for a class. So I decided to get the latest version.] I also have McAfee Virus Scan 4.03. I have a very strange problem: If I look into djgpp\bin or djgpp\rsxntj\bin via explorer, the computer stops responding for a while. Then there is very jerky response to mouve moves, and after 2-3 minutes, everything is back to normal. Things are ok, but it seems that if the computer is restarted, it happens again. Is there something I might have done wrong? [P.S. When I reinstalled djgpp, I removed the djgpp related lines from autoexec.bat, removed the djgpp folder and then unzipped the newly downloaded zip files, then put the lines back in autoexec.bat] -- Nath Rao 740-366-9341 ra0 DOT 3 AT osu DOT edu It is the man, not the method, that solves the problem.
