Re: [Freedos-user] OpenGEM 5 freezes/hangs/locks on FreeDOS 0.9 SR2

Hi, DRDOS has DPMI. I assume FD could if it doesn't. What is the exact technical reason you can't start WfW 3.11 from FreeDOS? Is it the DPMI thing or something else? I haven't looked much into this topic, but it cannot be the DPMI, as when you run WIN then Microsoft's nice extender
