Hi all,

I'm a quite new DJGPP user, so please be kind.
I've read all the FAQs(2.1) but I'm still unable to solve this problem..

I'm running Win95, P166, 32MB ram, djgpp in a dos box.
DJGPP is installed correctly, as it compiles without problems many C,
C++ progs.

All DJGPP binaries work well, I experienced some problems in a personal
C++
project but due to my buggy writings I never bothered anyone for that.
:(
But now I've tried to compile the JPEG 6a ditribution. 
It compiles fastly, without warns, but its large EXEs hang my dos box,
without any message
I've tried different configurations for DOS, DOS sessions, tried to
recompile more than once,
but the problem is still there.  
I've read about a buggy DPMI, but I have no idea how to disable it in a
dos box

CWSDPMI complains about ...

        e:\djgpp\bin>cwsdpmi.exe
        Protected mode not accessible.

if in a DOS box (Win DPMI is loaded, cwsdpmi can't exec, correct
interpretation ?)
Says nothing in a dos session, but the program still hangs.

That's all.

A curiosity: 
due to large EXE size, I've tried to use PKLITE.EXE, an EXE 
compress-but-execute program available at simtel in msdos/execomp/.
The program does not do what expected, but is without any doubt, the
fastest
way the exit win95 ;). Is someone able to explain why ?
(I've no problem about large EXE files, I've read the docs, I understand
the
trade-off, I'm just curious)

        Stefano
