RE: Booting problems under WIN95

["Hohne, Ric" <Ric.Hohne@racalinst.co.uk>]

Have just downloaded the 1997-09-19 Win32 binaries and the problem goes   
away.

However the problem arises if I compile, using the 1997-09-19 sources,   
using MSVC++ 5.0. Since this compiled version does not have the "-mm"   
option I am unable to send the resulting output.

Are you working with the latest Win32 binaries, those dated 1997-09-19 ?
They should be much more tolerant w.r.t. swiss cheese memory maps.
If you still get an "Cannot reserve address range" error message during
startup of these binaries, please try "lisp.exe -mm" and send me the
resulting output.
