I've recently upgraded my PC from a 586 75 MHz to an AMD K6-2 200 MHz.
I've also upgraded from Warp 3 to Warp Server 3.0 with LAN server 5.
I've installed FP42. I now find that I can't run Turbo C++ 3.0. I can
modify settings & put a * in the command line so I get to a DOS prompt.
That works fine. I've played with the DOS memory Settings & can't find anything that works. Anytime I try to run TC I get a Trap 000e.

I do have a couple thoughts, perhaps someone can tell me if I'm right or
wrong or provide some other ideas.

1. This is not a fresh install of TC. I copied it from my old machine.
Thus, TC is set to come up in 80x50 text mode. I know that on this
machine 80x50 doesn't work in a DOS screen. I'm getting a new VGA card
and am waiting for that to arrive rather than try to figure out why it
doesn't work now. Could that be causing the problem?

2. I now have 128 MB RAM. I had 48MB on the old machine. Could
passing the 64 MB limit be causing problems? Should I have the BIOS
setting for > 64 MB set to OS/2? (I don't remember what I have it set
to.)

3. I've tried changing the dpmi from enabled to disabled (TC won't run)
and auto, but it doesn't seem to matter. I've also tried elminating xms
memory and/or ems memory, but that didn't seem to change things either.
I first thought it was a DPMI problem, but now I don't know if it is
DPMI or video.

Hi Bryan,

This probably belongs in the OS2DOS echo, but I'll offer an answer here.

The Borland compilers/IDEs for DOS require DPMI set to ENABLED. I normally set the DPMI_MEMORY_SIZE to 64 for the bigger BCAF 3.1 compiler. The TC compiler should run in rather less.

Note that I normally create a program reference object (drag and drop a Program
template from the OS/2 Templates folder) and thereby create a custom VDM for Borland. It saves some hassle with other DOS programs that dislike the Borland settings; they simply run elsewhere.

Been there. Done that. Still doesn't work. Still get a trap 000e.

That's what I've done too so I won't mess up other programs. Hmmm.
This isn't a case where I need the 2 GB fix loaded, is it? TC not
having that wouldn't cause a trap 000e, would it?

Have you installed the patch for 3.0 ? If not, look around on the web (I unfortunately don't have it anymore) I don't remember the details, but there was a bug in 3.0's DPMILOAD or so that caused this kind of crap I believe.

I've moved this discussion to the OS2DOS echo, as it is more on-topic there. [I.e. it has nothing to do with programming and everything to do with configuring a VDM.] Please read my complete reply there.

It seems to. Jonathan is the moderator, so he should know for certain.

I'm probably confusing with another OS2 related echo that got removed.

Perhaps not confused at all.

According to our sysop the OS2DOS echo was delisted from the Z1 backbone. Hopefully JdeBP will have it restored soon. Meanwhile, I have netmailed Bryan.
