I've recently seen a standard for the "DOS PROTECTED MODE INTERFACE",
which is supposed to fit on top of the VCPI ("Virtual Control Program
Interface" ?), which in turn is supposed to fit on top of XMS (At last,
something I UNDERSTAND). Does anyone know what kind of products or applications
will be able to make use of the DPMI? Is it nothing more than an ANSI Standard
DesqView ??
