To: DJGPP mailing list <djgpp AT delorie DOT com>

 I was told that few of DPMI hosts free up memory blocks and selectors
allocated by their client when the latter exits through int 21h/ah=4Ch.
Now, I am writing a standalone DPMI program in asm, and my question is:
do I have to free all selectors and memory zones on exit, or should I
consider this as DPMI host's problem. BTW, which DPMIs act the wrong way?
Win31? QDPMI? Win95? OS/2? And does DJGPP frees all memory zones obtained
by sbrk() on exit? Man, now I am beginning to see why people hate Microsoft!

Thanx for any info!

Martynas
