I am using the Win98 editor - edit; it has a listing of all the source files(ie.my beginner's programs) and the final program files. For example: helloworld.c helloworld.exe ch6review.c ch6review.exe By choosing file/open from the tool bar I can open any of these files. The final program files are in what I guess is assembly language but there are portions written in English such as the copyright and the message which states that the coprocessor is not present and DPMI setup failed. The command line I use to compile my source code is actually: gcc myprogram.c -o myprogram.exe This works and I have not had any problems but I was wondering if the warning that DPMI setup failed which is not seen unless you open one of the .exe files is a sign that I have not installed the DJGPP package properly.
