    Ouch....  I have 2.11, and will be upgrading as soon as
    possible to 3 when available. Thanks for the news tho, if it is
    that way with the C++, then it is entirely possible it will be
    done the same way with the Pascal routines. However all this is
    not encouraging toward obtaining a fix for it from Borland.

    Myself, I am just learning C. Bought Watcom, VisproC and will
    soon be buying either the full blown or beginners version of
    CSET so I can utilize the VisproC package. I have been using
    VXRexx until now. However the one s/w applet I wrote in VXRexx
    is entirely too much of a system hog, and I would like to curb
    the memory requirements currently used by the VROBJ.DLL.

    I'm one of these idiots that prefers to jump right in and start
    codeing, then learning as I go with all the compiler error
    messages . One such project is a checkbook type util so my
    wife will actually use the computer . Until that time, it
    will continue to be like pulling teeth to buy anything for it.

    I managed to get 50 registrations for the app, which paid for
    the investment in VXRexx, so she is not as critical of my
    efforts at software development vs hardware expenditures for the
    BBS 

    Thanks for the help, and I will go back to lurking now that I
    have pretty much gotten the answer that I sought on the DPMI
    errors.

    Later!
