I really do need some help with this one...

It all started when I discovered that I couldn't run Turbo C++ over a
two machine network (Artisoft Lantastic). That was dealt with by
installing a thingy that allowed me to send a command to the server,
which would then run the compiler (via make or whatever) for me. Very
clumsy, and I get tired of peering across the room to see what the
compilation messages say. So, in a burst of inspiration, I moved the
tcc binaries, libraries, and sources to the workstation, which I
really didn't want to do (kinda defeats the purpose of having a file
server with lots of disk space, you know what I mean?).

It *still* won't work correctly. Even if I shut the net down and don't
load the netbios TSR's, tcc gives me a bizarre error when run on the
workstation machine. The linker says that I have an invalid group
definition *in one of the Borland library modules* !!! Not only that,
but the compiler and linker work just fine on the server. Ah, but it
gets better... the error "moves" from module to module (I'm really
starting to twitch and slobber).

I'm the only person using the network, and its primary role in life
is to test multi-user database packages, so it's not like there's any
kind of major load on it. I've also run every diagnostic I have on
both machines (and I have a LOT) and they both come up with a clean
bill of health. The config.sys has plenty of buffers and files
defined, and the command line shell on both is 4DOS 4.0 running on
top of MSDOS 3.3 (if you do commercial software development you'll
understand why MSDOS 3.3 is being used here). The only real diff.
between the two is that the server has 1.5 Mb of extended memory.
That, however, shouldn't make a difference. I've run tcc on what is
now the workstation for over two years, with no bizarre problems.

Someone, somewhere, help me... please!
