Hi everyone.

What's the difference between the old __go32_... calls and the new 
__dpmi_... ones? I suppose the old calls are now just wrappers for the 
new ones? how do I convert my old code to the new code without a great 
deal of pain? are there any advantages to doing this?

On another note: I call a real-mode interrupt handler and I want to give 
it a big stack. However, it says in the Info file that if SS=0 (or some 
such thing) a *small* default stack will be given. Exactly *how* small is 
this stack? and how do I get a bigger one? (right now, I just memset() 
the register struct to zero, then set up those which I need, which 
doesn't include the stack register).

Thanks.
