hi,

with code like this:

  __dpmi_meminfo meminf;
  meminf.address = vbe_modeinfo.PhysicalBasePtr;
  meminf.size	= screensize;
  if (__dpmi_physical_address_mapping(&meminf) ==	- 1)
    => error

__dpmi_physical_address_mapping fails on Windows 2000 (both with
cwsdpmi 4/5 and when I select Dos on startup).

A sample program can be found here:
http://www.ndh.net/home/natter/vbetest.cpp

I don't need need this to be fixed. I am just curious. Maybe it improves
DJGPP :-)

thanks,
