I'm trying to develop under win386 2.1
My problem occurs whenever I change my C source and recompile.
The compile works fine, but when I try to run the output file,
windows tells me it can't find the program, please insert it in
drive A: (I am compiling off of drive D:)
I've been told that windows keeps a copy of the directory and does
not recognise updates (like when you make a new executable).
I've tried logging to different drives and directories and then
back to my work directory, but windows insists on looking at the
floppy drive. I put an old copy of the program I'm developing onto
floppy so at least this condition doesn't lock up my system waiting
for a program on A:, but in order to actually execute my new program,
I must exit windows and come back in. Needless to say, this gets 
pretty old in a big hurry. Especially in one or two line changes.
Any suggestions?
Thanx in advance!
