- - Thanks for trying it. I tried the same program and it crashed 2.0
- - but 1.3 survives - so it seems to be specific to my hardware. I think

- - 2.0 but not DOS.

- I don't know at all if this is related, but I had a hard time with
- Microsoft C 5.1. I couldn't get protected mode programs to debug in
- source mode. The problem turned out to be that OS/2 includes a 'LINK.EXE'
- in the OS2 directory (first on the path). My problem went away when
- I made sure to use the linker that came with the compiler. You might
- give that a try.
