It all makes sense now.  Thank you.

One last thing...  If I have to call enable() and disable() in the prot. 
mode handler then I have to lock that code.  But I don't know the size of
the code because it's part of the standard library.  Therefore I must call
the DPMI host's '__dpmi_get_and_enable/disable_virtual_interrupt_state'
directly, right?  I can't even use the DJGPP function of the same name,
because I can't lock that code either.  (I ran into a similar dillema with
dosmemput, so I used the _far* functions which inline.)


Finally, yes changing the extension to *.info.gz does make info work (I do
have the latest version).  Is there a way to force gzip to add that
extension instead of changing it to *.inz.  Renaming or moving the
resulting file is a bit of a pain, since the first wont work with LFN, and
the 2nd wont accept multiple filenames forcing me to use 'find ... -exec
...'

Pete
