The C51 v4.01 compiler (launched from a third party product) is taking 15 to 20 minutes!!! to compile my code under NT and 2000, when on our old 98 platform it takes less than 2 minutes. Im sure nt/2000 dosent slow down 16 bit apps THAT much!?? We have to use 4.01 because it is a third party linker and target device which only supports this version of the compiler. Any ideas to speed things up?

Im sure nt/2000 dosent slow down 16 bit apps THAT much!?? Well, first of all, C166 V4.x is a Windows 32-bit application--not a 16-bit application, so that's not the problem. Maybe your 3rd-party tools is using too much memory? Have you looked at Task Mgr to see what's going on? Jon
Yes but I said C51 V4.01 of which the compiler is a DOS based 16 bit application. The third part app isnt using too much memory looking at the task manager. The system runs fine under a 9x platform.
Oops. I see V4 and I think C166. :-) The V4 C51 tools use a DOS Extended and that may be the cause of the problem. See if you can allocate EMS and XMS to the compiler. In a lot of cases, third party make programs can provide this (if a special make switch is set). I seem to recall this was a problem with the Borland make utility. Jon
