Not sure if this is the right group, so here goes...
What are the differences and relative merits of DPMI vs VCPI?  I gather qemm
and 386max are vcpi, what is himim.sys?  what about differences from a
programming point of view?  does vcpi leave the processor in v86 mode as a 
normal condition?  well, you get the idea.  is there a ftp'able file somewhere
that explains this?

thanks all, steve
