You are in protected mode, so these questions don't make much sense.

Yes, I think so. But English isn't my first language.

I strongly suggest you use another method than
__djgpp_nearptr_enable() as if you use it you just threw away all the
protection DJGPP offers you.

Read the sections in the FAQ about interfacing with DOZE (I can't give
you the section number as I haven't got my WINDOZE box up) and ask if
there's something there that needs clarification.


Right,
