Why do you need an ipx wrapper on win98? You can install the IPX pro

Asus P5S-B motherboards had the 530 chip on the board. Maybe Asus still has
those ancient drivers for download. I have the driver CD for it here
somewhere, but it would be olde
Windows 98 sort of running on top of a DOS system doesn't work with
ipxwrapper-0.4.0. There is an error that iplphapi.dll can't be found

till Windows 2000. So the thought of using Windows 98 boxes and
Windows 7 boxes together go

Just tried to boot an older FreeDOS installed years ago on another CF card.
It appears OK until this.

Well t
Static/global variables are allocated from the heap. Dynamic variables
(like the "b" array in your code) are pushed on the stack.
Either use compiler directives to increase stack space or make both arrays
static.
This is not a FreeDOS problem and should not have been posted to this list.

The Memory Model (Tiny vs. Small vs. Compact vs. Medium vs. Large, .COM vs.
.EXE) of the compiler could be causing the issue. Some compilers used to
default to Small. What compiler flags are you using?

Dunno. I think it used to be 4 kb for 16-bit targets, but they may??
have increased it to 16 kb in the meantime.

Michael:
Where can I find the default size for the watcom stack?
If you use "stack=4096", it means the default stack size might be much
smaller than the 16384 I am using.

First, the good news - Watcom includes code at the start and end of each
function to detect stack overflows. It is a lot easier to debug code
when you know what the root cause of the problem is. If the stack
overflow were to happen and remain silent, you could have all sorts of
strange behavi
AFAIK when you use static tables they are allocated on the stack.
You might want to try allocating them on the heap...
To do so, simply use malloc().
char *a;
a = malloc(8192);
if (a == NULL) return(1);
/* do your stuff */
free(a);
return(0);

wouldnt using memset() be better ?

Hello list:
I am having Stack Overflow problems with this simple code under FreeDOS and
OpenWatcom:
#include
char a[8192];
int main()
{
int i;
char b[8192];
for(i=0; i<8192; i++) a[i]=b[i]=0;
return 0;
}
I keep getting stack overflow problems.
I know this code is very simple
