Subject: Problem with Texinfo and QDPMI

As I understand it, DJGPP v2 and associates are designed to work with
a DPMI server.  I recently downloaded v2 beta3 and the CWSDPMI that was
with it and things seemed to work fine.  I read that the new stub
checks for the presence of DPMI and loads CWSDPMI if it was not found.

I decided to have QDPMI (the DPMI v0.9 server that came with QEMM 7.5)
load on boot-up so the DJGPP programs would  not have to keep loading
CWSDPMI.

PROBLEM: INFO.EXE (from txi360b-beta3.zip) crashes immediately when QDPMI
is loaded and is fine when I type CWSDPMI before running it (even when
QDPMI has been loaded on boot-up).  Each time I go to run it, I have to
reload CWSDPMI.  Everything else seems to work okay (although I haven't
tried much as I've only used v2b3 for a few hours so far.)

Does INFO want DPMI v1.0 (is CWSDPMI a 1.0 server?)???  Anyone else had
this problem.  Any ideas?

I could send more information if necessary.

Damien.
