ehem ... i do not know how to put this ... but .. you do have dos installed 
on your machine.

having said that, you do not give any useful information regarding your
machine. i do not understand why you areplaying around with smartdrv under win 95. 
win 95 has its own 32-bit disk cache speeds up my compilation times considerably.

anyway, instead of trying to go through every scenario, i'll recommend you open a 
dos window, and run go32-v2, post the information it prints out along with a copy 
of your autoexec.bat and config.sys if you have them. please, please do not post 
them encoded.
