It seems you are confusing a Win32 console (text) mode application with a DOS application. Althought they look alike, and are run from the same shell, they are two different beasts: When you are in a text console window (aka 'dos box') you can run two types of console applications: DOS or Win32. Since you are using a Windows compiler, the console applications it generates are running in the Win32 environment. To get a DOS console application you need to use a DOS compiler (either the DOS port of GNAT or buy the Pharlap DOS extender for OA). -- -- Jerry van Dijk | Leiden, Holland -- Team Ada | jdijk@acm.org -- see http://stad.dsl.nl/~jvandyk
