CWSDPMI should run in any DOS-like environment which gives direct access to protected mode. This would include raw (nothing special in config.sys), XMS (himem.sys loaded, no emm), or VCPI (EMM386/QEMM/etc). If it doesn't work well in one of those modes, it's a bug, and I will fix it if we can find it. The code has been used most under EMM386, so if you have problems that is a good configuration to start. You should be using (r2). Himem.sys only should work well under (r2), and is probably the most reliable. > also, sometimes I get SIGSEV and GP crashes when I'm *compiling*, ie, the > program being run is gcc... Regardless of how badly *I* program, I > suspect that the wizards behind this package are doing it right :) If it's large programs, I suspect it's a heap problem (see the FAQ). If it's small programs it's configuration/hardware. Once again, see the FAQ.
