1) There's a bug in the DJGPP port, because it's not a good idea to set
`stdout' to binary mode, when not redirected to a file. I already know,
how to fix that.
I guess. Always did it the lout all > *.ps way, so didn't notice
that. This is an old issue, so if you have the last word on it, I
think you should send a patch for inclusion into the mainline.
2a) Did you succeed in building `doc/desing' in plain DOS?
Yeah, I did the 4 docs later... all okay except.. see below.
2b) In a DOS window?
Yep. I set LOUTLIB and PATH as usual. Nothing unusual except for:
lout filter file "lout3" (from "prg_opti" line 63, from "prg" line
139, from "all" line 48):
1,27: @Char dropped (character "" unknown in font Symbol Base)
1,66: @Char dropped (character "" unknown in font Symbol Base)
6,39: @Char dropped (character "" unknown in font Symbol Base)
7,54: @Char dropped (character "" unknown in font Symbol Base)
8,80: @Char dropped (character "" unknown in font Symbol Base)
8,126: @Char dropped (character "" unknown in font Symbol Base)
9,54: @Char dropped (character "" unknown in font Symbol Base)
This shows up as a glitch on the respective page.
As for the strange behaviour, I haven't done a lot of testing on
the DJGPP platform for Lout, but in the past, I managed to build
the usual 4 documents only after increasing the minimum stack size
using stubedit. As for the exact reasons, I have no idea.
I used `stubedit', but it didn't help. (Running in a Windows 2000 DOS
window.)
My old DOS makefile automatically did stubedit, so I haven't
tested without it. But I did not experience any crashes while
doing the usual lout all > *.ps. No idea about other usage. I am
running XP HOME SP2.
