The DOS extender is part of the package -- it is the program go32.exe, which can be "bound" to the application. Major problems with go32: it is incompatible with QEMM/386MAX (or Windows, for that matter), and you can't exec other tasks. It is also considerably slower handling file I/O than the commercial Phar Lap. Also note that the format of gcc's a.out file is different than that of Phar Lap linkers *.exp file, as is the handling of segments -- you can't swap DOS extenders. -- Tom Almy toma@sail.labs.tek.com Standard Disclaimers Apply
