Re: DOS and DPMI

Further to messages..

I sent an email to Japheth connected with both the JEMM (emm variant)
and the HX process (DPMI process) and got it sorted out.

I was missing something, and assuming other things.

With the JEMM process installed, there is in fact NO DPMI active, so
messages I was getting to show DPMI were something else (the prog
giving the message was talking about something else, not the main
process).

So I DO need to run the separate DPMI process, but I kept trying the
TSR version as I thought I needed to do that (as CL.EXE calls other
things, I understood).   But, the TSR version seems NOT to work on my
machine, whereas if I run the non-TSR variant and then IMMED run CL
then CHEERS it works fine and my compile & link runs fine.   I was
doing the compile & link from a .BAT file, and this was doing
something else inbetween (a little prog to compare file dates) and
this was causing a problem.

Now I'm OK, all sorted!

I was pretty close all along.  No need for Virtual anything.

Thanks for messages.
