There is nothing in the DPMI 0.9 API that suggests that > paging must be supported, or that virtual memory will be available. And what about the 0x0602 -- 0x0604 and 0x0702, 0x0703 functions? The DPMI 0.9 specification says they have to be supported by a server to be fully 0.9 compatible. If the functions are part of the specification then any DPMI client CAN rely on them without thinking whether they are available in this or that server - and that means 286-compliant servers would have to implement them. But how? 286 hardware does not support pages. _http://ananke.amu.edu.pl/~grendel_________________________ We buy fresh bagels from the corner store where swastikas are spat from areosols. I sit in the bar sipping iced white russians, trying to score but nobody's pushing. And everyone looks at everyone's faces, searching for signs and praying for traces of a conscience in residence, are we sitting on a barbed wire fence chasing the clouds home?
