Thanks for the response. It seems that there is no problem running DJ gcc with smartdrv, himem, qemm, etc. For the record the Salford FTN77/386 compiler will work with smartdrv only if it is run as a 'DOS' shell from within Windows 3 using the additional driver supplied with the latest release 2.60. Personally I won't take the risk again. Neil
