Thanks for the words of support - my message really was in total humor.

I really don't care if people blame CWSDPMI for all their bugs - I know
where the bugs might be (places where I cheated a bit) and where they 
aren't.  I'm quite comfortable in saying PMODE/DJ is faster for interrupt
handling, is a better ring 0 host, and has a neat imbedded stub.  

I actually find it very funny when people complain about page faults and
conclude it must be some bug in CWSDPMI since it doesn't happen under
windoze :-)

By that same analogy, all of the bugs I'm dealing with over the last
couple of months must be bugs in HP/UX since it worked under VMS :-)
Somehow, I don't think HP would believe that :-)
