HI,
The problem is in the cmd.exe, it has the debug symbols
in it and it causes the reboot. remember, for
dir
dir
dir
f9
f9
f9
f9 .....
it gives the blue screen with the debug messages.
Anyway, i have compiled the program in LCC and gives
the same result. I think compiler doesnot make much difference.
Anything that support windows would be producing the same
results. Old MS-DOS compiler create the executables in the
DOS Format, but i guess it runs on a separate VM Processor
under the command prompt of NT. I haven't checked with compiling
the same program under Turbo C Version 2.0 or 3.X. Can anybody
please?
regards,
surya
