Well, here's another fine mess, I've gotten myself into.  I posted a couple
of weeks ago regarding a problem with running out of memory whilst compiling
some of the windows example code.  The resounding answer to the problem was
to use BCX, which would use my extended memory and not run out of memory during
the compile.  Thanks for all the answers, but this has led to a further problem.

First, I'll describe my system and its setup:
	Zenith 248 AT clone
	80 Meg Hard drive
	20 Meg Hard drive
	640K conventional memory
	1 Meg extended memory

The autoexec.bat has been stripped down to contain only a path to BC++ and DOS,
and the config.sys has only Files and Buffers = 20, and Device=himem.sys.

When I run BCX, I open the project file, and then try to make the .exe file (this
is the todolist example, by the way), the compiler bombs out, and gives the message:

>>>   0GP at 1C67 0AFA EC 0000

>>>   Unexpected interrupt/exception 0D at 1C67:0AFA.
>>>   Error:  Cannot remove TKERNEL.EXE
>>>   C>

I called Borland, and they said to try getting rid of the himem.sys device driver,
since BC++ does its own memory management.  I tried this, and the machine simply
hangs instead of bombing out.

Any ideas?  Please?  Pretty please?
