I have been running dosemu 1.0.0 (old, I know!) forever on this old machine here at my office. I have several old programs which were written years ago to be compiled with Mark Williams "Let's C" compiler. They seem to compile fine under dosemu. Now I am fixing up a new machine to upgrade this one. I downloaded the newest dosemu, with freedos. Seems to run just fine, however when I try to compile anything with "Let's C" I get: Nope REP F3,CSP=0x00a5 ERROR: general protection at 0x101218:f3 I definitely need to get this stuff migrated soon. Is the fault that I am using freedos instead of a real dos? Perhaps I can find the old dos disks and make a dedicated partition or drive for them in the new machine. Can I just copy this old DOS off of the hard-drive and it will run? I use DOS so rarely, I can't remember this stuff. But every year (these are tax preparation programs I wrote for this office) I need to kick my dos brain back in gear for a week or so to do upgrades. I'm okay for this year, but I can hear this hard-drive starting to go out (after only 12 years!) and so if anyone can point me down the proper path, I would appreciate it. Scott Swanson
