When I try, I get an error message. So I checked >> the documentation, which says that the code segment is not writable. I was just curious about this. If the code segment is not writable, it seems to imply some sort of immunity to viruses for DJGPP programs. And I also read from somewhere in the FAQ that DJGPP programs have the ability to detect if their COFF image becomes corrupted. With so many viruses spreading around, does this mean that DJGPP programs are safer from viruses? --- nimrod_a_abing ---------------- Hot Windows Tip: ---------------- How to free up at least 300 MB of hard disk space (as seen from the MS-DOS prompt): C:\>deltree c:\windows Delete directory "Windows" and all its subdirectories?
