I asked:
No rush, but didn't you tell me once I can copy \c700 to XP, and then make a few other configuration changes? My XP machine has C700 on it, but definitely doesn't work, can't even compile the first file.
I knew I had asked you this before :-) I found this in a 2006 email from you: <Quote>
Is it woirth trying to install MSC on WIndows XP? Did you do it using floppies? I can just keep an old computer.
What I've been doing lately is copying the installation directory from one computer to the next, either over the network or from a backup CD. Then some lines need to be added to system.ini: [386enh] device=c:\c700\bin\vpfd.386 device=c:\c700\bin\cvw1.386 device=c:\c700\bin\vmb.386 and some environment variables added/changed to point to the libraries: HELP=c:\c700\help;c:\masm\help INCLUDE=c:\c700\include;c:\masm\include INIT=c:\c700\init LIB=c:\c700\lib These last were done in the My Computer System Properties under the Advanced tab. I think that's all I needed to do, but I don't really do it often enough to remember very well. Which means every time I do it, I have to fight with it to get it to work again. I don't think I created the large and huge memory model libraries, so there could be a problem if they are ever needed. And, for now, yes it's worth it. Unless you want to migrate to a newer compiler. Which wouldn't be a bad thing for WinFract. It *is* a lot of work. </Quote>
