I don't think this had a sources of vxds. And, as wikipedia says, --- which allowed later versions of Merge to run Windows /Shrink wrapped/ applications without a copy of Windows. --- So I think they speak about wine-alike approach here. The win4lin page mentions there were 3 flavours of win4lin, one being a wine-alike emulator.

Maybe the original author will release it as abandonware, but it is still impossible to port such a code to freedos I suspect. >>> When I do not let it start win.com and try to start system\krnl386 I >>> shows this message: >>> KERNEL: Unable to enter Protected Mode >> This simply means DPMI is unavailable. >> Under dosemu it should pass much further than this. > Yep, I still need to try that, but considering the HDPMI results it > doesn't look promising.

At least for win31 that works right, but win.com can be used as well: dosemu cheats it and forces to load krnl386.exe instead of anything else. Essentially, krnl386.exe is an unpriviledged part of the kernel, while win386.exe is a priviledged part. dosemu skips the priviledged part since it doesn't do much but to provide DPMI and a couple of vxds. >>> Then I run hdpmi16 >> Is win95 still 16 bit?

This likely means that the 32bit services are provided with vwin32.386 itself and not with DPMI. And we don't know their protocol. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn Graph Databases - Download FREE O'Reilly Book "Graph Databases" is the definitive new guide to graph databases and their applications.
