EMM386 puts DOS in protected mode to do what it exists to do. EMM386 goes to protected mode to provide UMB's and/or emulate EMS. Any EMM386-style program would need to do this. That's why adding VCPI support to EMM386 was a big deal; it is the method by which programs which also run in protected mode can run with EMM386 loaded. So, basically, a utility that give feedback indicating DOS is in protected mode with EMM386 would be similar to it indicating that the chip is a 386 or better -- both are true by definition. The feedback message you are getting indicates either (a) that DUSE is simply incompatible with EMM386 or similar memory manager or (b) the error message is sloppy and there's more to the problem (e.g. it's failing under VCPI or it expects DPMI or it wants something it's not getting). ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
