Hi all,
I've downloaded DJGPP files[1] from the 'file picker', unzipped them
all at work, and burnt them onto a CD, preserving the directory structure.
My intention was to use this CD in my 'ickle 'pooter[2] at home, which
hasn't got the hard-drive space for all this unzipped. But, whenever I try
to run go32_v2.exe I get an exception (after running cwsdpmi), and
gcc hiworld.c (when run in a directory on the harddrive)
also raises an exception?
Exceptions are also raised when running in a DOS box of Win95.
My questions are...
1) What's the problem?
2) Why's it done like this?
3) How can I stop it going wrong and make it work?
[1] I got
alleg30.zip djdev201.zip gdb416b.zip grx23fnt.zip pdc22.zip
bccgrx20.zip faq211b.zip gdb416d.zip lgp2811b.zip rhide14b.zip
bnu281b.zip gcc280d.zip gpp281b.zip mak3761d.zip rsxdj131.zip
bnu281d.zip gcc281b.zip grx23.zip mak377b.zip csdpmi4b.zip
[2] It's all I can afford: a 486 running at 100MHz, with 8Mb of RAM, a
300Mb harddisk, a 85Mb harddisk and a 2xCD ROM. Also got a 386 33MHz
without a CD ROM, and 160Mb of harddisk storage. It's like being in a time
warp!
Many thanks
Will
