"?Wow, he's compiling it with a DOS protected-mode compiler, which has
had a list of unfixed incompatibilities with Windows 2000 since 2001,
hasn't been updated since 2003 and is effectively dead and somehow the
fact it doesn't work is Vista's fault? " -- AndyC

Ohh, Edfool.

"Several respondents have suggested that the problem lies in
deficiencies of the DJGPP or GCC environments, or their libraries,
linkers, or DPMI servers, due to the vintage (approximately five years)
of these products. As explained above, the executables produced by these
products do not exhibit the 32MB memory limitation when executed in XP
or Win98SE, so the problem is due to V*sta, not GCC 3.04 or DJGPP. If
you disagree, I would be interested to hear of your own results after
compiling, linking, and running (within V*sta) my sample code, using any
version of GCC which does not link to the W*n32 API."
