- An application that I am working on in Borland C++ does not run from the
- DOS prompt on some machines. It locks up during its initialization stage.
- If it is run from the DOS 5.0 Shell or from a Windows DOS shell, it works
- fine. The executable is about 130K compiled under the compact model.
-
- Is this an easy problem to solve? I really have no idea where to look. The
- machine that I am programming on never has this problem, although I cannot
- run the same program from within a batch file on still other machines.
-
- Any help would be greatly appreciated.
