I'm not an expert on DOS memory management on x386 and up machines.

I have a current copy of go32...

When I run gdb (out of this zipfile:)
drwxr-xr-x  1.9 unx       0 b- stor 28-Apr-94 19:50 gdb/
-rw-r--r--  1.9 unx  765952 b- defN 28-Mar-94 07:52 gdb/gdb
-rw-r--r--  1.9 unx  765952 b- defN 28-Mar-94 07:52 gdb/gdb-dpmi
-rw-r--r--  1.9 unx      51 t- stor 28-Mar-94 07:49 gdb/gdb.bat
-rw-r--r--  1.9 unx      56 t- stor 28-Mar-94 07:49 gdb/gdbd.bat
-rw-r--r--  1.9 unx     966 t- defN 28-Mar-94 07:49 gdb/readme.dos

it runs on Ms/Dos straight, but doesn't run under windows
at all (I get an infernal stack backtrace under windows).

what type of memory manager does straight DOS have?
can I run gdb under windows with this?

Information about dos extended memory managers would be useful
(Microsoft finally heard of virtual memory... ;-))
