Or just take some of the important stuff that Bob Smith and Qualitas discovered about Windows/GEMMIS/EMM386 and import it into something like JEMM. There's some knowledge embedded in 386MAX about what MS did that you will never directly get out of MS. _______________________________________________ Freedos-devel mailing list Freedos-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel
