Stay tuned Bruce,  Ray Duncan has said that he was working on it, and I'm sure
the other vendors will follow eventually.  As for pd, well some of us are
going to have to recoup our investment in the learning curve before we start
giving things away.  There are some working on it, but the investment appears
to be pretty high.

You want the results for free?   {B-{)>   DaR

uugh!  But we need the DPMI services which are only available under Enhanced
Mode.  Isn't there any way to modify the Segment Descriptor Table to let us
have some of the I/O ports without trapping them?

Thanks for the reply anyways!   {B-{)>   DaR
