Hi, there, and while savoring your humor I just want to say that CWSDPMI
is great just as is -- and actually solved a problem for me when I was
expecting it _not_ to work. 

For previewing PostScript files, I use a DOS/4GW-based interpreter.
Interestingly, CWSDPMI actually managed in a non-Emacs setting to supply
virtual memory and make it possible to image files which fail under QEMM
7.53. This causes a crash under Emacs, but works a surprising number of
times from the command line (MS-DOS 6.22).

While I understand that DOS is no longer your area of interest, I
certainly want to say _thank you_ for a gift that keeps on giving.

Funny how that "Absolutely No Warranty" message actually gives a certain
sense of security <grin>.

Most appreciatively,
Margo Schulter
