I just wrote and compiled the following program with DJGPP:


-----------------------------------------------------------------------
#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>

int main()
{
  char pause[2];
  clrscr();
  printf("Hello World");
  gets(pause);
  return 0;
}
------------------------------------------------------------------------

After exiting to DOS from Win95 (exiting to DOS, not the DOS box) I ran
this program without first loading dpmi server, and it ran fine.  Why is
this?  Shouldn't this executable need a dpmi server under DOS, or does
it only need this if I make use of 32-bit functions?  Thanks in advance
for your time and help:-)
