I even refered to the FAQ to no avail (PS: The email of Bill Currie is broken in the FAQ.) I need to peek at the memory location [0x0000:0x0049].. but I'm not used to DPMI at all. I understand what a selector is now .. but I don't understand how __dpmi_set_descriptor() works at all.. I don't understand the descriptions of the things on the right (i.e. 0=system, 1=application).. What do all these things mean? HELP!! Gili
