But surely in order to provide VDS services, the memory manager would
have to be the same thing (or at least very closely integrated) with
the DPMI server? VDS needs the ability to remap pages into specific
physical memory locations, and then prevent them from being moved until
the buffer is unlocked, and I don't see how any other memory manager
could do this while cwsdpmi is active (DJ? Charles? An expert opinion
would be useful here...)
