- I tried running bc under msdos 5.0 and still had the problem that the
- compiler produced no object modules even though the code compiled
- successfully. I got code and was able to run the program after
- deselecting the "produce asm files" from the compiler options box.
-
- DPMI.SYS does not appear to be available from software.watson.ibm.com.
- Does anyone know where the file can be FTP'd from?
