Thanx a lot. Protected mode appears _very_ flexible. I guess there would be
too much overhead with this exception handling (mayeb more than __dpmi_int).
Maybe Watcom does t that way. We'll leave it at this. 

And a suggestion, how about writing "the _dos_ds() function" (note the
function call brackets) instead of "_dos_ds () remeber its a function". The
() at the end of the name somehow registers a _lot_ better than the mention
that its actually a function. Just a suggestion.

Bye,
