Hi. I’m not using DPMI. PDOS/386 itself is 32-bit.
What I have is more a DRMI – a real mode
interface, as I drop down to real mode in order
to do BIOS calls. This is all transparent to
applications that run as pure 32-bit.
It seems that your Night Dos runs entirely as
32-bit, writing your own drivers, whereas I am
relying on the BIOS.
Another difference is that my project is public
domain, not GPL.
But there is no reason why the API that actual
32-bit applications use shouldn’t be consistent
between both projects. So I have joined your
group to see if we can agree on something in
this respect. There should ideally be a number
of 32-bit flavors of MSDOS for users to choose
between, with a common API.
BFN. Paul.
