If >anyone knows what it might be... please tell me! Thank you! You will need to ensure that you are using DJGPP 2.03 from December 2001 or later. Check the dates of the exe files in the bin directory and if they are before Dec-2001 then you need to check if there are updates and if there are no updates and you defninitly need the package then you may have to re-build the exe files from the sources. If you are using Rhide then download the 1.5.0 snapshot from the snaphot page at www.rhide.com Your milage with Rhide may vary under XP, but overall it is allot better than the 1.4.x versions. Another option is to use the WIP (bleeding edge) 2.04 files that are available from http://clio.rice.edu/djgpp/win2k/main.htm links. Andrew
