      From: joemonk64@gmail.com              > Crikey. Talk about a misunderstanding.       >       Well as we already know 0x5333 shifted left 5 bits is 0x0A6660              0x0A6660 + 0x0A71 = 0x0A70D1              But you still missed the point.              With 4 bit shifts...              0x5555 + 0x0005 = 0x55555       0x5333 + 0x2225 = 0x55555              So, mutliple segment:offset pairs point to the same physical address.              But if I take those same segment:offset pairs and apply 5 bit shifts to them,       it breaks segmentation. Thus, none of the existing code base will work.              Joe              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
