It should also be noted that 3.x didn't *fully* (or is that properly?)
support DPMI 0.9. If you check Ralf Brown's Interrupt List, it shows all the
calls that 3.x dislikes.
Isn't it kind of amusing that, in the 200+ MB of Windows '98 (and the
minimum 100 MB I got '95 down to), Microsoft didn't bother to squeeze in 1.0
support?
