   Why oh why in the world do people insist on assuming that anyone who
complains is a complete idiot?  Do you really think I don't RTFM?  Never
mind, THAT'S a stupid question.

   I DIDN'T use the OpenDOS dpmi service, nor did I load their "dpms"
interface, but I have now tried it and without Emm386 for three DOS flavors:
OpenDOS, PC DOS (6.2) and MS DOS (6.2x).  PC and MS DOS worked fine, but
OpenDOS crashed repeatedly after two or three loads of, as far as I can
tell, ANY dpmi server -- I've tried a good double handfull be now.  I was
really rooting for the OpenDOS project, but unfortunately there appears to
be a significant compatability problem in the kernel itself, and most likely
also in their emm386.  Does anyone know if their coming source release will
cover the kernel only, or include service executables?
