Hi Geneb, about your Borland Pascal 7 Problem in FreeDOS 1.2: > When I run "bp" which is the protected mode compiler, I get this: > > Unhandled exception 000E at 0020 A19E ErrCode 0002.
Looking at older FreeDOS-user discussions, people suggested using HDPMI16 or DOS32A, for example in resident mode, to work around issues with the protected mode enviroment used by BP (and Jazz Jackrabbit). Another suggestion was to use the HIMEMX /X2MAX32 option or the JEMMEX MAX=32000 MIN=32000 settings, so this could also be a problem caused by having more than 16, 32 or 64 MB RAM available and / or visible, which the old BP may not be used to... > if I let it boot using the default boot option, bp would > fail, but not if I used "option 2". > > Option 1 (the default) is: > Load FreeDOS with JEMMEX, no EMS (most UMBs), max RAM free > > Option 2 is: > Load FreeDOS with EMM386 (Expanded Memory) and SHARE loaded. Well in that case, as things do work with EMM386 but not with JEMMEX, the obvious solution is to use EMM386 for your PC :-) Which version of HIMEM do you use in option 2 with EMM386? And how well does BP work with only HIMEM/HIMEMX, without EMM386/ JEMMEX? Note that JEMMEX combines HIMEM and EMM386 into a single DOS driver, which keeps more RAM free but which is "more exotic". Cheers, Eric http://freedos.10956.n7.nabble.com/Unhandled-exception-000E-td22996.html also mentions UIDE settings as a possible place for RAM tuning. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, SlashDot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
