Thanks for the tip. With DPMILDR=128 Octave works, but if it runs LESS.EXE to display a text file it prints following error (note that LESS.EXE works ok from the command line):

dpmild32: E:\OCTAVE\BIN\LESS.EXE: relocs stripped, cannot load.

and later:

dkrnl32: exception 40000015, flags=0 occured at 3900BF:341B47
ax=0 bx=0 dx=309634
si=341B92 di=0 bp=226310 sp=2262E4
ip=Module 'mscvr90.dll'+5BB47

dkrnl32: fatal exit!

and it hangs the pc.

I saw the error message at the documentation of dpmild32.txt. I haven't used another DPMI host. Does it mean that LESS need its own adress space?

I tested Octave with some easy equations and haven't got errors, there seems to be only problems when another program is launched from inside of Octave. But maybe I will find other problems in the future...

Bye
