I just finished writing a Duke Nukem 3D Add-On Map Player using Meridian
Ada (v4.1.4) in the adaext mode, and I found that I had to use a
"work-around" when using this compiler with DOS.

Although my compiled code was only about 86K, I guess Duke Nukem 3d is a
real memory hog, because when I call the game from my program, duke
nukem 3d would always lock up.

The solution to this problem, and perhaps yours is to have your Ada
program create a batch file to copy your files. -- If you need some
source code for that, please e-mail me.
