Would you like to create a shortcut to this program that will run it in MS-DOS mode?" So I say "no" 'cos I don't want to and in the DOS shell it says " >> Dos[53]# make gcc -Wall -g -funsigned-char -c main.c CPU must be in REAL mode (not V86 mode) to run this program without VCPI. (If you are using an EMS emulator, make sure that EMS isn't disabled) make.exe: *** [main.o] Error 1" I've never had this problem before so I'm assuming I need to fiddle with the setting in the memory tab on teh DOS Prompt Properties, but I've fiddled with no success so far :( Cheers for any help/suggestions Al -- http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Palms/3657/ music 'n' computers 'n' piercing 'n' stuff
