I have a question about djgpp, the port of gcc to DOS.
I have been using djgpp to compile a large C program 
and redistribute the executables for DOS.

At the end of compilation, Iuse the command
  coff2exe -s program go32.exe program
to link in the go32 library from djgpp.
This will produce the executable file program.exe

This has been working fine on my machine and
other people's DOS machines for a year now.
They retrieve program.exe by ftp.

Recently a new user reported getting the error
message 
 "cannot exec go32"
after retrieving program.exe and trying to
execute it.

Has anyone gotten this error message before?
If so, do you know what causes it?
I cannot reproduce the behavior that prints
the error message, so I suspect it
is caused by some basic error either in the
ftp retrieval or installation of program.exe.

I am not a regular reader of this newsgroup, so please
reply by e-mail to schaffer@cs.rice.edu.

Thanks,
Alejandro Schaffer
