Hi Fred,
	DPMI is the bit of SW that lets you run gnu 32 bit SW under 16 bit
DOS.  It looks after memory above 1Meg, interrupts and all sorts of
nitty gritty stuff like interrupts.  It's a must have and you have it if
you have win95 else you get it in one of the djgpp *.zip files for pure
dos and win3.1.

		Regards Ian
