If anything, it's been multiposted to several groups, as I'm relplying
to it and only get _one_ group as distribution.

Well, I don't quite see how you can make a DOS4G post on-topic in
djgpp which is using a DPMI server instead of a specific DOS extender
(although there sure are excpeptions like the interaction between the
two; your post don't describe any interraction).

Yeah. Like if you don't hear from us, bother Usenet instead.

: The message is self-explanatory, so I won't prepend it with much foreword.

It is. However given the inability of the DOS4G extenders that are
used with Watcom to be compliant with the VCPI 1.0 specification (read
Tenberry offerings and opensource DOS32a), it comes as no surprise
that they fail here as well. Good luck trying to get them to read and
adhere to the VCPI 1.0 specification (or anything else).

My personal experince is the disregard of the results of the VCPI call
0xde0a (Get 8259A Interrupt Vector Mappings).


Right,
