        First off, I am working with v2 of djgpp. Second, I have an assumption 
that I would like corrected if it is wrong: programs compiled with the v2 
compiler do not use a go32 loader, rather they use DPMI to load.
        Working with this assumption, I have generalized to a second 
assumption: for programs built ground-up in v2 compiler, I should use the 
__dpmi_ functions instead of the _go32_dpmi_ functions.
        The reason I'm confused is 1) I'm not sure my assumptions are 
correct. 2) A lot of the samples given in the v2 FAQ use _go32_dpmi_ 
functions.

As a side note, I used to call _go32_dpmi_allocate_real_mode_callback_retf() 
to interface with a packet driver.  With DPMI only, my only option is 
__dpmi_allocate_real_mode_callback().  How can I make sure that my callback 
routine ends with a retf and not an iret?

Thanks for any clarification,
        Michael Hobbs
