problems with MS C/C++ compiler v 7.0
Verschraegen Luc
1. As Microsoft advises, I have installed 386MAX as a extended memory
manager and as a DOS Protected Mode Interface (see enclosed config.sys
and autoexec.bat).
Compiling of the source (test.exe) under DOS and Programmers Workbench
works nice.
However linking test.obj under DOS and PWB gives error "Can't swap
program back in memory" followed by the DOS-prompt (no return to PWB).
No test.exe-file is created.
2. After Hard reset, install 386MAX, linking under DOS:
the link.exe program returns IMMEDIATELY without message, even without
the Copyright message and without asking for parameters. No test.exe-file
is created.
mem /d/p shows two lost memory-blocks:
304 bytes data
272 bytes prog
Every time link.exe is started, two more lost blocks are created.
After aproximately 12 times a message appears:
run time error R6907
- DOSX16: not enough extended mem on exec
mem /d/p shows: ...
...
304 bytes ime erro data
256 MSDOS free
304 alid XMS data
272 alid XMS prog
Examining the MCB with DEBUG shows messages: "initialisation error",
"run time error" and "invalid XMS"
3. After hard reset, install 386MAX, same symptoms as under 2.
NO OTHER APPLICATIONS SHOW ERRORS.
4. Hard reset, install 386MAX, run Windows
compiling under PWB works fine
linking under PWB gives Windows-message:
"This application has violated system integrity and is stopped.
Stop all applications, stop Windows and reboot computer."
5. After turning the computer off and immediately turning on again:
same symptoms as under 2. and 3.
6. After turning the computer off, WAITING for some 10 minutes and
turning on again:
link.exe under DOS works FINE for about 4 times, then the same symptoms
as under 2. and 3. appear.
7. After hard reset and installing EMM386 instead of 386MAX:
The compiler gives an error message:
run time error R6901
- DOSX32: This is a protected mode application that requires
DPMI services.
This is a normal error since EMM386 does not deliver DPMI.
link.exe works FINE under DOS, no problem.
After starting MS-windows and PWB:
compilation works NICE
linking gives Windows-message "This application has violated
system integrity, ... reboot computer"
8. When I change the motherboard to my old 386SX 16 MHz motherboard
with no FPU, everything works FINE with 386MAX (but very slow ) .

C7 was the DOS-extender version NMAKE. Look for NMAKER.EXE and
adjust filenames (whatever) accordingly. Better yet, add 4MB.
Also, you might "try" reducing the PWB-reserve amount from 2048K
to something less. However, I really don't advise that. Get 4
more MB. PWB 2.1.49 is actually an excellent IDE once you know
how to control it.
