CD is on E:

If I try to go32_v2.exe to run when on the CD-ROM from DOS I get the No
DPMI error message. (CWSDPMI was not on the CD). When I run CWSDPMI -P (to
load as a TSR), and then try and run go32_v2.exe, I get

I get the same behaviour when I copy CWSDPMI and go32_v2 to the same
directory on the harddrive and type go32_v2 without invoking cwsdpmi (your
first point)

Interestingly, if I try and run go32_v2 on the harddisk from a Win95 DOS
box (not trying to run cwsdpmi first), I get the following output

c:\tryit\>go32_v2

c:\tryit\>

ie the program runs, writes nothing to the terminal, and exits normally.

I tried it again last night, and couldn't get it to raise the exception
(as go32_v2 is doing above). Instead I get 

C:\learningc>gcc c:trivial.c
gcc.exe: installation problem, cannot exec `cpp': No such file or
directory
(ENOENT)

As far as I remember (although I don't remember the numbers) the gcc crash
on Sunday night was the same as the go32_v2 crash.

Some more details:
