Florian,

> Has somebody tried WDOSX? Is it better if I use it or  CWSDPMI?
I gave it a try and it looks very! promosing for several reasons: It
supports "a ton" of different executable types and the disk overhead is very
small. It adds around 40K to an executable if it needs some kind of Win32
api emulation ( Borland + PPack 32bit exectables for example ). I assume
that the overhead is even less when using the plain dpmi services. It seems
that it supports most of the dpmi 0.9 spec and has some additional goodies.
I will give it a next ( and heavy ) try since I'm about to write some 32bit
sfx stubs for our archiver. If WDOSX does not crash it seems to be the best
and only choice for Borland Compilers... regarding DJGPP + WDOSX and can't
tell much since I'm too new to DJGPP....

Thnaks and best,

Rainer
