Sometimes SNASM68K crashes as soon as you invoke it under Windows XP. This problem has been driving me nuts, but here is the solution:
Make sure your PATH environment variable is 250 characters or less.
That's it! You can type "path" in the command prompt to see how big it currently is, and set up a batch file invoke a prompt with a more limited path to work around this problem.
In general, restricting the PATH size will prevent any program that uses DOS4GW from crashing immediately.
Stop SNASM from crashing!

Ah, I should have clarified: this is a fix _for_ the 98/NT/2K/XP version.TmEE co.(TM) wrote:Use the 98/NT/2K/XP version instead ?
My problem is that it would work for a while and then stop working, and now I realized it's because I installed and removed software which adjusted the PATH length.
On another forum somebody was debugging some productivity software that used DOS4GW and mentioned the hard-coded PATH limit, and that's what fixed it.
