Im a borlandC3,1/Tasm programmer ( yeah okay real-mode, but doing
flat stuff using Voodoo memory).

Ive got Rhide and DJGPP and it looks good.

some questions:

char [512000]; // is this legal, and is it allocated dos or 32bit memory
???
char*q=malloc(512000); // allocating dos or 32 bit memory ???
>> do I have to free it, or will it auto-free when the app shuts down
do I need to use the dpmi functions to allocate memory.

How do I get the pure linear address is something i,e char[512000];

and how to a write say an 'x' to byte 0 of it... ( in inline asm )??

How can I make dlls..

How does one 32bit app send messages to another 32bit app, in 
the same v86 or another v86 ( is there a dif).

Can I send messages to win32 apps and vice-versa??

Are win32 the same as DJGPP apps ( less then win32 api i mean )..

Thanks in advance
