I remember asking a question in the Lynx list regarding DR-DOS' DPMI
at that time (which turned into a DPMI discussion and my question
got lost in the shuffle. <frown>). At the time 7.02's DPMI didn't work
with djgpp programs like Lynx, Multimail, EXT2 TOOLS, etc.
I recall that when I updated to 7.03 most of those programs worked okay.

Maybe they have improved it some and its now good to go.
Can't check Lineo's DR-DOS though as I'm still without a DOS machine.
