So I take it you're trying to write on-board software for that unit, not just a program that will run on a normal PC? Careful there. You really should check that the gadget is even capable of hosting a 32-bit DPMI server and DPMI client application before proceeding with the port of that software from Microsoft's 16-bit C compiler to DJGPP, where everything is 32 bit. DJGPP-compiled programs are not just "DOS programs", so it's not strictly certain that they'll run on every thing that claims to be able to run generic DOS programs. You'll also quite probably need additional information about the MS compiler this code was made for (the docs, at the very least) to be able to analyze those parts that don't have direct counterparts on the DJGPP side in order to replace them by others. E.g., those docs would be the place to look up the definitions of parameter macros not found in DJGPP, or the meanings of functions that DJGPP doesn't have. -- Hans-Bernhard Broeker (broeker AT physik DOT rwth-aachen DOT de) Even if all the snow were burnt, ashes would remain.
