Hi Richard!

 RG>   I was wondering if anyone else has encountered this little 
problem with Installing EMX
 RG> v0.9a.  I've installed as per the  instructions, and I am positive
that all of my

'95 Hobbes  CD-Rom). 
 RG> Whenever I compile any program, even the sample  programs that come
with EMX, I get an

except that I've got well over 9

doing  a lot of

of room for the swap

problem). Now, these files
 RG> I'm trying  to compile are a grand total of 2,000 bytes!

Well, I haven't run across that kind of problem so far, but first thing
you should probably do is put the emx/dll library to the first place of
your LIBPATH statement in your config.sys. If this helps you might have
an old version of any of the emx*.dll's on your system. Find it, delete
it (the newer versions are compatible to all older ones) and change back
your config.sys.
