Inst. of Tech., Dept. of Chemistry Lines: 37 Hello, I have heard of several routines that you place in C code just before you shell or spawn child processes. I am looking for one that will work with either MSC version 6.0 or TCC 2.0. I want to add the code to Dennis Vadura's Dmake which was just posted to comp.sources.misc. This make does a great number of things that ndmake and the make that comes with MSC 6.0 does not do (Transitive clousure, RCS support, completely portable code that runs on unix systems, etc). The problem is that the executable is about 53 Kbytes. This is just a little too big for use with the MKS toolkit which leaves me with about 460Kb free on top of the make.exe. Dennis is aware of the problem and I thought I would ask here, if there is code to swap to disk, EMS, or better XMS before a spawn or shell? Thanks in advance. -- Frank Kolakowski ====================================================================== |lfk@athena.mit.edu || Lee F.
