Subject: Re: Virtual memory file mapping?

DPMI is *REQUIRED* for Windows, OS/2, NT, and a few other cases.  It's
also sufficient enough to be used without an extender.  Since the only
extender we have can't be built with gcc, it's a good thing to get rid
of it so that the entire system can be built with gcc.
