(i.e. what is its base address, and what is its limit?) and btw, what is its privilige level? (not really important, but i wanna know!). Can i deduce that _djgpp_conventional_base equals the negative of the base of this segment? if not, what is its value? thanx in advance! can i change the initial segment of the program? (e.g. start my program with all segments selecting a segment that begins at 0 and spans 128 Mb). with luv, El Dawy _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?
