Hi,

	The documentation in DJGPP of DPMI is horrible (or nonexistant.) I 
even refered to the FAQ to no avail (PS: The email of Bill Currie is 
broken in the FAQ.)

	I need to peek at the memory location [0x0000:0x0049].. but I'm not 
used to DPMI at all. I understand what a selector is now .. but I 
don't understand how 
__dpmi_set_descriptor() works at all.. I don't understand the 
descriptions of the things on the right (i.e. 0=system, 
1=application).. What do all these things mean? HELP!!

	Gili
