I have read the FAQ, I think it assumes you know what you're talking
about to start with. What are IRET and STI instructions anyway? What
context do they belong in? I know a bit of Z80 assembler, but this is
really a huge leap to understanding 80386 protected mode and interrupt
routines and locked memory and whatever else. There's far too much to
learn, and I'd really rather dodge learning the entire DPMI spec until
I have to. All the concepts in the FAQ and the Info seem to point to
each other. Perhaps it's a stupid question, but is there a simple way
to explain it?
