In short, yes she can. However, there are some caveats when using any DPMI-based program with NT: It restricts the maximum DPMI memory you can access, doesn't allow direct read/writes to hardware ports, doesn't like it when you try to disable memory protection, and doesn't support LFNs from its DOS shell. There are other issues as well; you should definitely read the FAQ section Eli posted. :) -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- | John M.
