All he wants to do is be able to use a continuous address space for accessing the display memory (which is at offset 0xa0000 within conventional memory selector space) rather than having to bank himself.. etc.. (i.e. simulate djgpp v.1.x's 0xd0000000, but from within dpmi...) It is quite obvious that any dos program writing directly to the screen would be *seen* by windows, and would have its screen saved/restored etc.. between switching between windows and your program... We are programming windows apps here.. just Dos.. and yes, those little dos sessions under windows *will* run your code in 32-bit protected mode when you use dpmi calls to get to protected mode.. -Sam
