Glue/Pmake delay fixes
There have been reports that on some systems, Glue or PMake takes a long time to run (35 seconds on a 486/66). The fix is to add "SET DOSX=-MAXV 0" to your autoexec.bat file Reason: there is a conflict between the Phar-Lap DOS extender used by the SDK tools and MS-DOS's EMM386 (version 6.0 and later) that causes delays before the tools will execute. A couple of possible work-arounds: * Use a different memory manager than Microsoft's EMM386, or just comment out the EMM386.EXE line from your CONFIG.SYS * Run the thing from a Windows DOS box, since (for a change) this problem disappears under Windows. A good way to test this thing is to just type "glue" without any parameters. If everything is okay, glue should spit out a usage line almost immediately. Otherwise, it will pause a while.
