As I recall, I compiled it with a large (x5000) stack size medium model (-Mm) with -O. Also, rev 1.00.02 was nessessary-1.00.01 was missing some stuff. I don't remember now-but there might have been a few MSC bugs to take care of: usually of the form: a->b[c++]; The compiler error is Compiler error: Infinite Spill @ line XXXX. replace a->b[c++] with a->b[c]; c++; And you'll be fine. What else? Uh, large model won't ever work (Pointer arithmetic) and once you get it compiled there are quite a few bugs-which may or may not be pointer problems. I lean towards insufficient memory nowadays. Bugs: MRN doesn't work. MRRN does. MS flames out, DL/s don't work (could be my fault-wrong permissions?) etc. etc. You can see a working version on my system: 609-391-0037, login "ubbs". If you like, I'll grant you system access- I have a working 16 bit compress, emacs 3.8i, etc. Mike Taht peng!sir-alan!tahtline!miket Voice: 609-391-0033 PS Upgrade to V.2.2 It's WORTH it!
