Orjan,
The first thing I need to ask is "what command line arguments did you use
with setup.bat"? This can be determined by looking at the contents of
setup.txt (found in c:\nmv directory if you used the default parameters).
If you used "df" you are ok. If you used "fl32" or just typed "setup", you
need to repeat the installation using "df", e.g.:
setup a c nmv df y link
You should be using level "D" if you are using Digital 5.0. This can be
determined by typing "df" at a DOS command prompt and noting the version and
level reported, e.g. 5.0D. Since this is an outdated version of the
compiler, the patch may not be available on the internet anymore. Mail me
off the list if you need the file. Updating to 5.0D should be sufficient.
As far as "The software is not as good as the old one.", if you are refering
to Windows 95, you will find that NT is actually far superior to 95, 98 or
ME once you get used to it.
