The only way out is F9 :-( >I have straightforward Minix PC 1.5.10 on a 640kB 8088 IBM clone at 8 >MHz with a Hercules screen running the ACK compiler (cpp, cem, cg, opt, >asld) of the official PH 1.3 release. Did Will use anything else, like >bcc? Is there another thing I may have differently? ... This is most odd. The *only* difference I can spot is that my XT runs at 10MHz - perhaps that's quick enough to keep out of asld's way... The other point that may be different is the ramdisk size, and hence the memory available. I use a minimal ramdisk of 150K, and would prefer it to be less. One day I'll fit an EMS card ... If it's not the ramdisk, have you got some weird hardware error, flakey memory... ??? These are deep waters, Watson.
