actually, 2 questions:
1) Let's say I want to do something like windows. It some sort of GUI
that sits on top of DOS and has multitasking, 32 bit, DLLs etc. Since it
sits on top of DOS, can I make my programs just EXEs made with DJGPP
that call some DLX functions? Can an EXE be multitasked using let's say
LWP? Do I need to change any of the startup code? So, can I make a DJGPP
program that will launch other DJGPP programs, provide system calls to
them and multitask them?
2) If I need DPMI in this windoze clone, can I incorporate CWSDPMI? How?
Do I *need* to put it in or is it okay just if I have cwsdpmi in the
directory, since my windoze will be an exe made with DJGPP?
