I couldn't reproduce this problem on my system. Strangely, at least on my system, the call to system( subversion..>rev.dat, 0 ) doesn't create the rev.dat file on DOS whereas it does on Windows. svnversion's directory is in my path.

Could the interaction between DEP and DOS be a possible culprit here?
Jim:
DEP probably just works for 32-bit applications.
CMD.exe is a 16-bit emulation if you notice in the error msg I posted.
Bernie
ex.exe is a 32bit DOS application that runs on top of the 16bit DOS layer (in turn running on top of a 32bit windows console program, sort of), whether DEP is smart enough to make ex.exe work or if it breaks some DOS apps is something I have no experience with. I remember one other person on this forum stating that DEP did break ex.exe in some cases (esp when using graphics), however.
