- I've had a little bit of problem configuring Microsoft C/C++ 7.0, also.
- Some additional information about your machine might clear things up.
-
- How much total memory is installed in your machine?
- It seems that the compiler (cl) needs about 3Mb in order to compile. This
- implies that your machine should probably have 4Mb if you expect to use
- this compiler.
-
- Is a DPMI (386MAX) installed ?
- The compiler is a protected mode program. A Dos Mode Protected Interface
- is necessary.
-
- Are you compiling from Programmer's Workbench (PWB)?
- If so, check the numeric parameters to see if "keepmem" (I think) is set to
- the default of 2Mb. Change it to something smaller (like 0). This parameter
- controls how much memory is reserved for the editor when it shells out to
- do other things.
