Lines: 18 I am dealing with 2 clients who want to window-ize their applications. They both currently use Phar Lap's DOS extender and a suitable C compiler. I'm not up-to-speed on 32-bit compilers, but I don't get a clear picture from reading Appendix E of the SDK Reference Manual. As I see it, you can't run a DOS Extender under Win 3.0 at present. Although DPMI is implemented, you shouldn't call it directly, but use the WINMEM32.DLL functions instead. Phar Lap says that they are working on a DOS extender that will operate under Win 3 (but why use one?). Has anyone successfully ported a DOS extended program over to Win 3? What C compiler should I use to generate 32-bit instructions? Thanks in advance.-- Ken Anderson, kea@kasoft.UUCP, 416-274-6244 (fax:416-891-2715) ---
