You wrote all of those? Wow! How? Why? (bow) :-)

A quite strong debugger. Can do dual-screen.
Takes a bit of getting used to to load first.

> Please let me know if you run into problems

That probably means "can others compile this?".
Which compilers etc. are needed to for 386swat?

> 2.  QLINK:  A Protected Mode Linker
> svn://svn.sudleyplace.com/qlink/trunk

I have no experience with that one...

Also pretty nifty, for all those for who the
common DPMI 0.x hosts are not powerful enough.

One of the better known EMM386 clones, right?
Let me see what RBIL intlist says about it...

- implements more int 15.24 A20 functions
- does something with int 15.e4?
- has a number of IOCTLs and 2 magic I/O ports
  (RBIL is quite incomplete in describing this)
- supports Weitek, MCA, single-PIC, SCSI, EISA?
- 37 aspects of configurable debugging (?)
- various UMB / shadow tricks
- CRT controller reg. virtualization (for what?)
- proprietary 4k page QPMS API?
- built-in DPMI host?
- int 2f.1688.bad LDT access
- probably Windows 386enh compatible?
- FPU emulation hook?
- can limit visible VCPI EMS DPMI XMS memory
- tries to support QEMM386 int 67.3f.5145.4d4d?

Sounds versatile and interesting :-) Probably takes
more space than other EMM386 and might not be up to
date for too modern hardware / int 15 RAM / ACPI but
probably also has more features than other EMM386s?
I do miss int 2f.4a15 I/O virtualization, though ;-)

Thanks for open-sourcing all those impressive tools :-)

Regards, Eric
