RE: Win XP Heap Error - still there after heap_chunk_in_mb. :o(

I tried this, but then PDP++ wouldn't even start because the DLL is a
different version (DLL Hell). You can go ahead and send me the DLL though
and I'll try again.

The error "Couldn't reserve space for cygwin's heap" is actually due to some
XP/cygwin bug in older versions of the cygwin1 DLL. To fix the problem, go
to http://www.cygwin.com, and then download and install the lastest and
greatest version  (r1.3.0). One potential hang up here, is that PDP++
expects to find cygwin1.dll in something like C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32, however
the cygwin install program puts it in something like C:\CYGWIN\BIN. So, to
fix this just copy the file over.

I you don't want to download the entire cygwin package, just e-mail me
directly and I can send you the lastest version of cygwin1.dll (which is all
you really need).
