Subject: | Re: DPMI incorporation... |
> DPMI was designed for i386+ only and it would never run on iAPX286- > machines. Not true. See http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/doc/dpmi/ch4.1.html where it states "0=16-bit application" and "if running on an 80386 or later". DPMI supports 80286 and higher processors. However, it only supports the 32-bit operations on 32-bit processors (of course) > DPMI heavily relies on features found only in i386+ machines (like > paged memory). Not true. Even the DPMI in Windows95 doesn't support the paged memory functions of DPMI 1.0.
