hi,

with code like this:

  __dpmi_meminfo meminf;
  meminf.address = vbe_modeinfo.PhysicalBasePtr;
  meminf.size	= screensize;
  if (__dpmi_physical_address_mapping(&meminf) ==	- 1)
    => error

"__dpmi_physical_address_mapping" fails on Windows 2000 (both in the DOS
box or when I select Dos on startup).

I am using cwsdpmi (the version that comes with djdev2.02).

does a more recent version of cwsdpmi fix this or is there another
workaround ?

thanks,
