It *is* documented. The library reference refers you to the DPMI spec, and the FAQ reiterates the URLs where that spec is available. The DPMI spec explains which fields of memory-related functions are mandatory and which might be unsupported. > and finally because you seem to know everything there is to know > about the DJGPP memory systems, so I was considering you the definitive > authority :-) This goes with a smiley, so you probably find this funny. I don't: every message I post in reply takes some of my free time to analyze the question, think about the best advice, consult the references, and write it all down in a clear way (not necessarily an easy feat for somebody whose first language isn't English). Please do not abuse the good will of people who provide help here by posting questions for which the answers are already available and easy to find. This forum is NOT a free hot line.
