Then I am a little reluctant/biased given the history of that company. >and i do not get the point in an int21 handler in >emm386. because it already has an any-int handler! The way the V86 monitor now has to work is by intercepting all interrupts in protected mode. Then reissue the interrupt in V86 mode. when that interrupt comes back you get an iret to protected mode, which then iret's back into the V86 code. These are 4 CPU mode switches. By implementing the int 21 interface in the V86 monitor, you would need only two processor mode switches per int 21h. Moreover it could run faster, because the protected mode code could be run in flat mode. And you would probably recover most of the memory used by the DOS kernel residing in memory < 1Mb.
