Release 1.0 is complete, and is in the process of DJ reviewing it to get
it put on Simtel.  In the meantime, it can be ftp'ed from riceng.rice.edu,
username djgpp, password betatest, in pmode10*.zip.  It seems that even
Quake will run with it, at least in single player mode for the first
few screens :-)  Be sure to read the docs on incompatibilities.

A *HUGE* Thanks to Matthias Grimrath who fixed the bugs and missing 
DPMI features in PMODE to allow it to work with DJGPP!  Now there are
two free DPMI providers you can choose from!

The PMODE stub will also be compatible with the next release of DJP,
so you can have compressed images with an imbedded PMODE stub if desired.

Have fun.
