Unfortunately, I don't have access to NT or Win2K. If it doesn't work then I'll apply the GNAT for Dos stuff and run it through DJGPP, and then the fun can begin! I want to build it before I modify the compiler to work on bare 386+es, rather than make some modifications and then go "oh, how do you build it?" which would be daft! May I ask why you don't think it will not succeed on win98? Thanks for the info, Chris Campbell
