I think ( Im not 100% on this.. maybe someone else can prove/disprove me on
this ) that WinMe just wont run the compiler. As I understand it it was
compiled as a DOS app and WinMe doesnt have a DOS mode as such.
Win 95/98 were more accomodating as they basically ran on top of DOS but it
seems its trying to do things memorywise which are just not allowed under
Me.
Personally I gave up and have a old machine which has win98 on it to do my
Yaroze stuff..
Maybe the trick would be to take the source code for it and compile it as a
Win32 console app.

Of course someone could prove me totally wrong.. which would be nice.. then
I can do away with the old machine.

Good luck
John
