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

["Robert Olivares" <robert.olivares@vanderbilt.edu>]

Hey, it worked. I had to delete the old DLL and rename the one you sent me
as cygwin1.dll, but it doesn't give me the heap error anymore. :)

It does however begin to beep and give me these warnings when I load the
chap8\attn_simple.proj.gz file:

I also get the same problem with other projects. They load, but give me many
beeps and spam. I am using PDP++ v2.2.

I think that before, I swapped the DLLs but didn't increase the heap size,
so it may have still failed. :p

Any ideas on the spam and beeps? They're disturbing. Could it be different
versions of the project files?

Here's the DLL. Place it in C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32.

BTW - What version of PDP++ are you using and more importantly what was the
exact error message you got indicating that PDP++ wasn't happy about the DLL
version number? Last night, I tried a fresh install of PDP++ 2.2 on a XP box
and then just dropped in the newer version of the cygwin1 DLL and it worked
with out a problem.
