There are three reasons for asking:
Firstly because it's not documented in INFO or in the version of the
FAQ, I have, (and I have those to hand).
Secondly because querying the DPMI using the alternative call -doesn't-
work on all DPMI servers that I've tried it on, I think it may use some
1.0 extensions which are not univerally supported.
Thirdly because I don't have a DPMI server that fails on this close to
hand, and finally because you seem to know everything there is to know
about the DJGPP memory systems, so I was considering you the definitive
authority :-)
