The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft FORTRAN PowerStation for MS-DOS, versions 1.0, 1.0a
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
When using an MS-DOS extended version of NMAKE, the DOSXNT error
DOSXNT : fatal error DX1010: DOS-Extended applications nested too deeply
occurs when attempting to run an application built with FORTRAN PowerStation from
the makefile.
CAUSE
=====
FORTRAN PowerStation for MS-DOS comes with two MS-DOS extenders:
DOSXMSF.EXE -- This is the MS-DOS extender used by programs created with the
FORTRAN PowerStation.
DOSXNT.EXE -- This is the MS-DOS extender loaded by PowerStation utilities such
as NMAKE and FL32.
The DX1010 error occurs when attempting to load one MS-DOS extender while the
other MS-DOS extender is in memory. These two MS-DOS extenders are not
compatible (see the Microsoft Knowledge Base article Q106567 for more
information on the incompatibility between DOSXNT.EXE and DOSXMSF.EXE).
RESOLUTION
==========
There are two alternatives to avoid the conflict:
- Do not use a version of NMAKE that loads DOSXNT.EXE.
- Compile the programs that are run from the makefile with FORTRAN version 5.1
or earlier.
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in FORTRAN PowerStation version 1.0
and 1.0a for MS-DOS.
This is not a problem in FORTRAN PowerStation 32.
MORE INFORMATION
================
Running NMAKE that ships with the FORTRAN PowerStation on the sample makefile
below generates the DX1010 error when attempting to run HELLO.EXE:
Sample Makefile
---------------
run: hello.exe
hello
hello.exe:
fl32 <<hello.for
print *, 'Hello'
end
<<KEEP
