Dear Eli,
May be the problem lies not with PMODE/W V1.33 but with
CWSDPMI.
I suggest this because
1. when I load CWSDPMI as the DPMI host and try to run a
PMODE/W V1.33 program PMODE says 'Error could not allocate
page table memory' and aborts. However without CWSDPMI the
program runs under plain dos perfectly.
2. When I run the same PMODE/W exe under WIN95 dosbox(ie-
using WINDOWS as the DPMI server) the exe runs perfectly.
Clearly there is either a problem with either PMODE/W's Page
table allocating method or something wrong with CWSDPMI.
Please tell me if my testing's have any significance regarding the
current problem.
BTW I haven't changed any of CWSDPMI's default settings except
to make the swapfile to "d:\cwsdpmi.swp" wich is a valid drive. And
the same happens when I use CWSDPR0 as DPMI server.
Thank's,
Kalum Somaratna.
