I have read the FAQ, I think it assumes you know what you're talking about to start with. What are IRET and STI instructions anyway? What context do they belong in? I know a bit of Z80 assembler, but this is really a huge leap to understanding 80386 protected mode and interrupt routines and locked memory and whatever else. There's far too much to learn, and I'd really rather dodge learning the entire DPMI spec until I have to. All the concepts in the FAQ and the Info seem to point to each other. Perhaps it's a stupid question, but is there a simple way to explain it? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ "This is just plain sick and wrong.
