So, this "Latest and Greatest" O/S called W2k has no DPMI?!   <g>

DPMS does not require DPMI. Many people complain that
DR-EMM386 has buggy DPMI. Therefore, why not load
EMM386 without DPMI, then load CWSDPMI as your DPMI
server instead? This should be more stable.

AFAIK, DR-DOS supports all the FAT-16 types, but it doesn't
support FAT-32 ... (?)

Joe.

PS. Thanks for your message re. the events of September 11.
I'm sure I speak for all of us here, when I say that our thoughts
and sympathies are with our American friends in this time of
sorrow. I'm sure there's a special place in H ell, where such mass
murderers can relive their victim's pain and horror for all eternity!
