>I ran "redir -eo bcc" and received 16-bit DPMI not supported or something
>close to that.
1) I have re-compiled REDIR with Borland C++ 5.0x (x=1a or 2 can't
remember) after a small mod to get it to work. I can send this to you
via email if you want a version that works in DOS and Windows.
2) The DJGPP stub found DPMI support, but you had the DPMI 16 bit
software loaded. I have seen 16 bit DMPI software support files from
Borland and Phar Lap.

>this? 
3) DJGPP as standard will not support 16 bit. (See www.delorie.com for
an old 16 bit version of DJGPP)
4) DPMI 16 and 32 are two different beasts, such as DOS and Windows
are, they both run on the same H/W, but look and feel different.

5) Only if the sun does not come up!!!!!!
