Chris I had a look at your easy D snapshot.
downloaded and ran on a windows 2000 Pro install and got errors immediately on
trying to run the console . Looks like some sort of permission problem.
Think its mostly self explanatory except for ease and comfort I use rebuild on
unix rather than dsss build ,it saves having to enter each "D" program in the
config file.

Text console output is attached 
What am I doing wrong?

Also while you are there I looked at your site but it seems you have moved
server again and I did not see anything on the cheque entry project there . Is
there any progress or is it dead?

Yeah, I haven't gotten that migrated yet.  No, I haven't made any=20

I'm not sure but I think you get that error because you also have a 
dsss.conf file in the same directory that doesn't contain 
"[C:\dmd\mystuff\SliderTest.d]". I think I've got similar errors. Either 
use "dsss build file.d" or use a dsss.conf file, there seems to be a 
conflict if you use both in the same directory.

I found that when I try building something and I'm not currently in that =

directory that it fails to build.

The problem building with rebuild is that all of the libraries (DWT,=20
Arclib, etc.) are with DSSS and are included to rebuild when DSSS runs.=20
    It sounds to me like you tried to build a DWT app without DSSS, and=20
for some reason the build with rebuild didn't fail outright (which I=20
think it should have) and then you tried to run it, and it didn't link=20
against DWT as it should, and so it was just a few kilobytes of=20
assembler short of a full program.  Or it was malformed by a confused=20
linker, etc.  DSSS could perhaps be a little more forgiving on Win32=20
platforms when you don't play with it *just* right, but given the=20
alternatives (building by hand, with makefiles, etc.) I'm more than=20
willing to accept it the way it is.  :-)
