It said: C:\DJGPP\BIN/ar.exe: ../../../lib/comm.a: No such file or directory (ENOENT) I was thinking that it was looking in the djgpp lib folder for this file. However, I now know that it was looking in the sources lib folder. I've now posted to a more appropriate group. Sorry I sounded a little impatient there. Next time I'll post more info so as not to be so cryptic. Talk to y'all later. -David C.
