Hello!

An issue surely more important than the long filename support
is the full support of 32 bit DPMI programs compiled with
DJGPP or GNAT compilers (DJGPP becomes the norm for 32 bit 
programs under DOS). 

I recall the two problems which occur under OD with these programs:

1) OD's DPMI doesn't support some extensions of the DPMI 0.9 norm
   that Windoze supports about the FPU;

2) When OD's DPMI is off, the DPMI 1.0 server, CWSDPMI.EXE is used;
   but some programs still have problems under OD (memory leackage,
   crashes, etc.).

Are there news about a fix or a cooperation with the DJGPP people ?
