I have a very early version of the 32 bit event code that Csaba and I put
together when putting V1.11 together.  It's a bit rough around the edges,
and doesn't allow you to access the event queue directly, but it does
work under most DPMI providers (a few are buggy and don't work, most
notably OS/2 2.0 (2.1 is fine) and NT).

Major changes are needed to the event32.c and support routines to make
them work under DPMI.  If you need a copy of a prototype that works 
under DPMI I will let you have it, but I expect a release version soon (?).
I also expect the V2.0 library (if I ever get it finished...) will allow
you to directly access the event queue again.
