My understanding of the differences between Windows 3.0 and the previous versions is that Windows 3.0 requires code to be 'well behaved,' which I think means it can't do segmented arithmetic (although I'm not sure on this). Presumably something in the file header indicates for which version of Windows the code is written. Does anyone know if the JPI compiler is written to Windows 3.0 standards? . . ______ Laboratory for Atmpospheric and Space Physics | / \ (__ ._) University of Colorado, Boulder |__/ \____) | Richard Wolniewicz (wolniewi@tramp.colorado.edu) Disclaimer: Only the opinions of a grad student (me)
