John,
And when I reverse the question( like BTW the original author might
have ment it): does csdpmi comes with an api which can be used by
"any" program to make use of this dosextender, or alternativaly what
would be the startupcode to put in that "any" program to make it a
valid "csdpmi program " ?? I am sorry to ask this while I of course
could have looked it up in the sources, but maybe someone knows
this from memory( which would spare me a lot of time/wasted effort),
In the spirit of a NON-COMMERCIAL internet,
Rick
