Hi folks
I am trying to get access to the return code in ax whenever a
dpmi function call fails. Particularly, when issuing
__dpmi_free_ldt_descriptor(desc)
__dpmi_free_physical_address_mapping(meminfo)

Info says if an error occurs, the return value is -1;
dpmi.h says most routines return -1 on error and set __dpmi_error = ax

I looked in \djgpp\src\libc\dpmi\api\d0000.s and d0801.s, dpmidefs.h,
etc and it looks like dpmi_error should get set...

Is this stuff in the faq???

help
