Subj : HELP! TDW problem on BC4.0 using DOS. To : borland.public.cpp.borlandcpp From : "John" Date : Tue Feb 17 2004 11:24 am Hello all, I'm working with a complex DOS application, running on DOS, built with Borland C++ 4.0 and Pharlap's RUN286|DOS Extender 3.0. We have recently added significant capability to our software, but now, a problem has developed. In some cases, when using TDW, an "exception 13" (general protection fault) is generated even before we get to the break point in our source code where our "main()" is called out. Oddly enough, the program runs normally from the command line without any gp faults. Only when debugging using TDW does it have a difficulty. Does anyone know how to find out why the TDW gp faults in its "pre-processing" state. What is happening during that sequence? Thanks!!!! john .
