I've been listening.  COFF, ELF, PE ?? Now I'm wondering what a plain old OBJ
is, why there's a difference between a Win32 OBJ and others.  How does anyone
learn this stuff in the first place?

I thought I was doing okay when the DPMI light went on, now I need more.

Dave

P.S.  I tried to reproduce a DPMI call (segment_to_selector) by preparing my
own NASM function, based on the wrapper source.  Worked fine in DJGPP.  Took
the same module with the int 33h call and assembled to WIN32 (OBJ) and linked
with MSVC(either 4.2 or 5.0, I forget) compiled fine, but execution locked up
the machine with a black screen (really scarry).  Am I bumping into something
new?
