      From: muta...@gmail.com              Actually, how about a privileged Windows program,       hopefully 32-bit but 64-bit would be possible, that       disables interrupts, switches to CM16/PM16/RM16,       runs the PDOS-generic app until it does an API call,       then switches back to CM32/long mode, reenables       interrupts and services the API request?              I only care about well-behaved 16-bit programs.              I would need some real memory in order to do this.       Can Windows give me that?              Also, does Windows actually use the memory below       1 MB?              Thanks. Paul.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
