And the entirely seperate q -
What devel env still uses dos extenders?

I'm curious actually because I haven't used one since *thinking* somewhere
around '97 (Watcom C++/dos4gw and/or TASM+pmode :)
A friend and I wrote this cool DLL loader that would allow us to write our
own extender (or extend pmode - which is what we did) back then.  Lots of
fun.  (actually that was ~93-94-ish we did that).  At that point I was
mostly playing with linux for fun and doing most of my real projects
under DOS as at that point I could see getting a living that way.

scary thing is in all the years of programming I've done, I've never
really earned a living doing this stuff.

So flip side, would it be worth it to have a helper lib to provide .dll
loading support for DOS in an extender? *g*  I think I still have the code
around here somewhere though I'd have to ask the other programmer if that
was okay.

G'day, eh? :)

PS: paragui's not really setup for anything other than a 32bit (or higher)
environment.  Could be done I suppose.
