I have just been looking at the Rational Systems 32 bit extender, and
I noticed that it appears to map the low 1 Mbyte of memory into
the same segment as everything else, even under DPMI - a pointer
to video memeory is 'near'. They put the low 1M at 0, and the
code/data at 4M in linear space.

I was under the impression that DPMI didn't let you at the page
tables, so how are they doing it?!
