Hmmm, now that I think about it, I think CWSDPMI (and/or other DPMI hosts) can't handle fragmented XMS (or hog it all for themselves), so shelled out apps don't have anything to use. Perhaps you're relying on that? In that case, yes, the 4 kb pages help, oddly enough. Otherwise it's not so recommended (esp. since EMS isn't as widely used in most "modern" DOS apps), as you probably already know, esp. regarding DPMI 1.0 extensions and CWSDPMI r7. > And es, you are right, it gave me no UMB, which in that situation is > just a minor annoyance.

But luckily FreeDOS is pretty efficient anyways (at least with XMS available). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity and more.
