Does anyone know if the DOS extender that comes with the DOS port of
GCC, DJGPP's go32.exe, is VCPI compliant or DPMI compliant?

I have DJGPP 1.10 (I believe), and whenever I run that in a Desqview
window, with EMS/VCPI/DPMI/XMS memory limited to less than 4MBs, I get
a "not enough memory" on one application compiled with djgpp. Now my
DPMI server is set to give virtual memory, however my VCPI host isn't.

Does anyone know if go32.exe is using the VCPI host over the DPMI server?
With the DPMI server, I should have enough memory with the virtual memory.

Please send e-mail.
