I have two questions which I could use help with:
1) I have a 386SX with 4MB of RAM. I cannot get it to run Windows in
protected mode. When I run win I get the message "cannot find or load
krnl386.exe". When I try to run krnl386 I get "cannot entered
protected mode". I get this on both the standard kernel and the debug
kernel in the SDK. Other 386 protected mode software seems to run
fine.
2) I bought the SDK and Zortech C++ to develop window applications.
Except I seem to be missing something called "link4" in the Zortech
example file. Am I write in assuming that I still need the latest MASM
to get a linker that will support the required linking flags (/NOE
specifically)?
Thanks in advance

The new SDK doesn't come with a linker (SDK 2.x has link4.exe). What you need is a segment relocatable linker which is link.exe in one of Microsoft C 6.0, Fortran ?.?, OS/2 development kit. I suspect the link.exe that comes with MASM will not do the job. link4.exe will work okay. What this boils down to is that you must get MSC 6.0 (may be 5.1 will work as well) to do Windows development. Even if you want to use Zortech C++ and don't want to use MSC, you still need to buy MSC just for the bloody linker. RATS ! Regards, ## Life is fast enough as it is ........ Peter Lim. ## ....
