As for the size thing, I don't think its _too_ much of a problem. After
all,
CSDPMI is only 20-30k now? DOS4GW is close to 300k!!! And noone has ever
had
a problem running that... ;)  I have a lot of interest in using this
code
to run multi-tasking stuff, but when comes to actually coding the dpmi,
I'm stumped...I just dont know enough about it...

Does anybody know where we can get a good resource on dpmi programming?
Oh, and
source for the latest version of unzip so I can look at them on this
stupid
Sparc Sun... ;)

Leathal.
