Hi Rugxulo,

nice to see you here too!

I am using MS-DOS 7.0 (W98SE), and I have tried a clean configuration w/o any memory driver, one with XMS only and one with QEMM 8.0.
Only changing the files made it work, no matter in what configuration.

VP opens a lot of files in very short time, and it is a very fast compiler.
Maybe the authors sacrificed a big amount of file handles in favor of a very fast/dirty compilation algorithm - I don't know.


All the best,
Stefan / AH
