Your first problem may be related to not having a 387. The program expects there to be a 387 coprocessor present, and the compiler has generated code for it. If you do not have a '387, then you must include the emulator supplied (emu387) in the 3d.bat batch file. There are instructions in the commented lines in that file for you to follow. Basically you must have "emu EMU387" included in the GO32 environment variable. I do not know why your compiler cannot recompile help.c - it should be there along with the rest of the source. regards, anthony
