- BULLET.LIB can be used for Windows protected-mode programming (a beta
- version is available for registered users on the BBS) as-is in this
- release with an exception: you cannot use the default codepage/country
- collate sequence table as provide by DOS and used by Bullet.
-
- This is part of the process of creating an index file (CreateKXB). Three
- quick alternatives are available.
-
- 1. Do not use a collate-sequence table but instead sort by ASCII order.
-
- 2. Use your own code to build a DOS-compatible specification and supply
- a far pointer to that built data area.
-
- See CreateKXB and it's several pages under CreateKXB_a,b,c,... in CZ
- for more.
-
- 3. Use the DOS call (INT21/6506) and create a selector using DPMI
- function INT31/2. Then use this selector instead of the DOS-supplied
- real-mode 32-bit pointer. See the DOS Programmer's Reference and the
- DPMI 0.9 manual for more, or contact me at the BBS.
-
- The beta Bullet for Windows has some other Windows-specific calls to
- improve performance, but is essentially identical to this Bullet version.
