Who knows anything > about this? dj delorie announced a project for a free compiler that can generate 16 bit code. you can find the details on his pages at http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/. your problem does not have anything to do with this, though. AFAIK, a message like '16-bit dpmi not supported' can come from two sources (that's why it would have helped to give the exact message, and a description of the run time environment.) in this case, it seems more likely that you are running cwsdpmi and bcc is using 16 bit dpmi services that are not supported by cwsdpmi. i don't think 16-bit support is in the works for cwsdpmi. you can try another dpmi server (i don't know which), try using the tools that came with borland rather than mixing borland and djgpp tools, or just forget borland ;-) -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- A.
