Hi,
  Does anyone out there know of a decent hi-res ( sub millisecond ) timer
package that will work with g++. I have a really good Borland compatible
one (Zen Timer Library) but I have had no luck porting the assembler part-
I get loads of segmentation violation errors , due ,I'm sure,  to a fatal
misunderstanding on my part.

Secondly, what is the status and future for exception handlers with
'throw', 'catch' et al in djgpp. Compiling progs with these features just
tells me that they are reserved words and gives parse errors. Is there any
chance of their inclusion in the near future.

  Thanx

Subject: help with a DPMI request

From: Jim Crigler <jcrigler AT tccmail DOT orl DOT mmc DOT com>

A couple of weeks ago I asked for help with the code fragment that
follows.  DJ replied that I should wait for 1.11 (which I did with
breath abated).  Now the problem is that I don't know how to translate
this function (from Paul G. Fox's wonderful `vile' text editor) into a
call that simulates the real mode interrupt.  The thing I tried last
night failed miserably.  (I don't have access to DPMI specs...)  Thanks
for any help.

Hi:
  Does anyone know why emu387 generates the "387 Underflow !" message ?
  The emu387 is from 1.10 package.
