I.e. LARGE, MEDIUM, SMALL, TINY. Different memory models use different pointer lengths and presumably, this might result in the wrong bit being interpreted as a sign bit. However, before you dig into that, try turning off the optimizations ( -O3 ) because this can be the cause of wierd errors. If this does work, turn on optimization one level at a time to see how far you can go. And if this leads nowhere, then you probably are dealing with a DOS or DJGPP specific issue. Ask people who work with DJGPP for advice. Good Luck, --Michael Dillon -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
