Hi:
  I am writing a image viewer that can run under DPMI. I can't use the linear
video memory model provided by GO32. So I must do the bank switching by
myself. After a lot of trying, I find that int86() doesn't preserve the
segment register %fs and %gs. This causes a very serious problem because
I use %gs to store the DOS memory selector. I hope this will help others
who have the same problem.
