Ta for reminding me. But-



I've been doing this project under BC++4, which is a Win app. (I'm

getting to like the user interface quite a bit, although I've yet

to get a Win program to run...) The Dos debugger v4 is just another

icon in the BC folder, and I'd originally thought it as capable as

TD386v3, but it ain't. If my app makes a false move or two, Win

throws its little hands in the air, shrieks things about "GPF! GPF!

Flee! Flee! Reboot Now Or Burn In Hell For Eternity!"



So to avoid incessant bloody reboots, I switched back to BC++3.0

(which is really quite quick on my current setup) so I could use

TD386v3. Has side effects, though. Qemm can't be used, cos TD386

wants *all* of its 386. And BC3 doesn't run real good under dv,

either, so it's a vanilla Dos session.



BTW, ta muchly for the mention of the C Snippets file you have. It

contained an example of a Dos interrupt that makes >20 file handles

available. Needed a few unmentioned extras, but it saved me a poor

redesign.



Cheers
