I have encountered a 1/2 dozen problems in WFW 3.11, W95, and WNT in the last few months, none of which have a good workaround, and there seems to be no interest at MS in fixing DPMI/DOS support bugs. When the owner of your operating environment is hostile to you, it's probably time to find something else. I'm just amazed that millions of customers tolerate being treated this way, then buy more. In the future I'll try an restrain myself to "know microsoft bug, avoid MS products unless 100% of your environment is MS purchased". I have learned the very hard way to avoid any non-MS drivers in the W95 environment...
