VESA programs work fine for me under win95. If you want to send me a
copy of the program (by email, not to the list!) I'll see if I can
reproduce the problem...

Also you could try running symify after it crashes, to see which bit of
code is causing the problem. Compile with the -g option to include
debugging info, and after the crash, run 'symify myprog.exe'.

CWSDPMI isn't used under Win95. It is only loaded if there is no DPMI
provider already available, and Win95 has DPMI services built into the
OS.
