Maybe you are right, as I haven't tried so many compiling under the same OS/2 dos session. If so, 32-bit gcc leave some garbage in memory after every execution and eat up all dos memory after many executions?? If this really happened under DPMI, what about under Windows(non-OS/2) dos box? Do you experience the same thing? (Maybe after a lot many # of execs) Wonkoo Kim wkim AT vms DOT cis DOT pitt DOT edu
