Beginners cannot use a product or a manual without tutorials. In my case I had no information on writing 32 bit based dpmi code. The reason my FAQ may be old is I downloaded the zips some time ago but didn't know how to write C in a dpmi environment. That changed a week ago when I found these tutorials :-) An commented example is worth a thousand technical explanations. Of course being self taught there are gaps in my knowledge base and I am not sure what questions are valid on this newsgroup? -- John Casey.
