Hi Bryan,

Replying to a message of Bryan Rubingh to All:

This probably belongs in the OS2DOS echo, but I'll offer an answer here.

 BR> 3.  I've tried changing the dpmi from enabled to disabled (TC won't

The Borland compilers/IDEs for DOS require DPMI set to ENABLED. I normally set 
the DPMI_MEMORY_SIZE to 64 for the bigger BCAF 3.1 compiler. The TC compiler 
should run in rather less.

Note that I normally create a program reference object (drag and drop a Program 
template from the OS/2 Templates folder) and thereby create a custom VDM for 
Borland. It saves some hassle with other DOS programs that dislike the Borland 
settings; they simply run elsewhere.

Regards
