|Funny.  I have Borland C++ 3.1, DOS 5.0, and Windows 3.1 all installed on my
|486 clone.  HIMEM.SYS is loaded, as well as EMM386.SYS (which is configured
|to emulate several meg of expanded memory and the rest as external memory).
|DOS is loaded high.
|
|Both the IDE compiler and the command line compiler work just fine under DOS.

Shouldn't be so funny, after all, the main advantage of DPMI over
previous such systems (VCPI etc), is that programs should be able to run
under each other's DPMI hosts.
