Except in order to run a DLL as a DLL, you have to include INT 21h into
the mix and emulation sucks... it's slow.. ever wonder why MS windows
sucks so bad? because 1) it actually runs under DOS which is only 16bit,
and 2) everything is emulated. networking, much of the audio support
depending on the board, etc.. the lack of a kernel in the host OS (DOS)
forces emulation to be the only hope of anything working.. and in MS
Windows' case.. not working at all most of the time. A system with no
native networking layer.. yuck :) Sorry bout the tangent. I'm just trying
to find room for my new speakers ;)
