Hi,

Some time ago, someone asked a question about whether Zortech C++ 2.1
will run in the DOS extender mode under Windows 3.0 386 Enhanced mode.
(was it in comp.lang.c++ or comp.windows.ms ?)

Walter Bright replied with a resounding YES ! I tried on my machine
with the "-br" switch (if I remember correctly) on a small c++ program
and it works.

But I didn't see any typical DOS/Extender sign on message being
displayed (which other DOS extender programs tend to display). Which
lead me to suspect did the DOS extender C++ compiler actually run ?

Anybody with a big C++ code to try out ? I mean, if it really works,
then does this means program developed using Rational System's DOS
extender is DPMI compatible ?

Just curious.
