Hi Mark!

Thanks for answering my post.

But, unfortunately that didn't help a lot. Because I move the exe file to
Windows 2000 Professional Service Pack 4 128 MB RAM and still gives me the
error

Out of memory in _setargv()

I don't know if I have to compile in the W2K environment, because, what I
tried to run was the exe file compile and built in W95

any thoughts!!!

:-(
