I tried to get this working the other day, but the package just wouldn't have it. I think maybe the DJGPP version hasn't really been maintaned as of late, and has fallen into the "uncompileable bin". Scitech have released a version that compiles with DJGPP here: ftp://ftp.scitechsoft.com/devel/beta/ I haven't used it yet, and don't know if it compiles, but you might as well try. -- Johan Venter ICQ 3643877 Visit The TPU DJGPP Interest Group: http://surf.to/djgppig
