First try 0.74 or even SVN of Dosbox...
Otherwise out of luck...

A rather vague description of the problem, don't you think?

If you are encountering an "Unexpected DOS Error: 21" message with your win32s programs, that can usually be resolved with a cputype=486_slow setting in DOSBox.

Thank you for the help
changing cputype works

sorry about the vague description
I was testing different compilers
http://win31.no-ip.org/freeware/programi/oofd16.zip
And for compilers that output win32s apps
(but require win32)
dos box is nice

pentium_slow works fine
but guess a pentium4_slow is needed

(on a 2.4ghz p4 with 1gb of ram)
using regular dos/windows 3.11
the win32s masm32 programs work fine
