Does it work now? Becuase I was never able to get Plex86 to work at all.
Always got one error message or another. I gave up a while ago. To be sure,
it compiled fine but just aborted with error message after error message no
matter what I did.. I was using Linux 2.2 at the time.

Someone said Plex86 works with DOS so it's obviously not a hoax :-) Also
I've played with bochs a little. With bochs you can get answers to questions
like, 'what is the average number of bytes each instruction takes up?'
Pretty fun stuff.

Did you guys know that a -real- CPU supports a mode called 32-bit real mode?
To use that mode, you first enter 32-bit protected mode and then clear the
PE bit of CR0. Leaving the Big and Default bits set, all 32 bits of EIP are
then used, the default address and operand size are 32 bits, ESP is used
instead of SP, etc.!! Everything works like in 32-bit flat mode, except
there's no memory protectin because sadly you can't have PG = 1 with PE = 0
(I tried. My PC likes to reboot when I do that).

I was wonderring if plex86 supports 32-bit real mode.

Bye!
