Because windoze 3.1 can run in 'standard' mode. windoze-for-workgroups insists on 386-enhanced (386 protected mode). I'm not 100% sure how 386 control programs like QEMM386 ''dealt'' with windoze-3.0/3.1/3.11 'protected mode' (QEMM386 definitely takes account of it, though). Maybe qemm386 ''cooperates'' // becomes-a-slave using VCPI (virtual control program interface) with win386, giving windoze 'full control 'over the 386. That situation is NOT acceptable inside DosEmu, etc. ... However, if win386 can run under DPMI (e.g. qdpmi.sys, cwsdpmi, dosemu, dosbox (?)) [DOS protected mode interface], then windoze is being a ''slave'' to DPMI. Iirc. win386 doesn't support this. Anyway, for running inside an environment like dosemu (unless dosemu takes particular precautions // workarounds for win386), 386 protected mode is NOT SUITABLE for working inside dosemu (i.e. Linux/similar is a '386 control program', and so is win386, and only 1 program can be in control of the 386 at any time). I do not now how standard mode (286 protected mode) works, either, so tbh. I'm not sure how that would work inside dosemu, either! argh! -S Iremonger <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-msdos" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
