Hi,

I thought I could catch an event in NTVDM generated when an application
terminates and mark selectors used by that application as 'unused'

There is some information how to do this for  16 bit applications. Yet I
have to find a way how to do this for 32 bit protected mode applications
produced by djgpp.
