Hi,

why NOT DPMI support in DJGPP ?
The DPMI standard 1.0 is available (ie QDPMI by Quarterdeck), and a working
DPMI interface would make life much easier for GO32.
Also concurrent processes could be implemented, each one with his own
memory space.
Wouldn't it be possible to support both VCPI and DPMI? VCPI based programs
would work, because nearly every DPMI host is able to grab only a part
of available memory. And, if wished, one could give the DPMI host every
memory available.

regards...
           ...Matthias Burian
