- Well, just to let you know, I was using qdpmi v1.0 and whenever I went to
- user PKZIP 2.04c, it would seem to hang when detecting form DPMI support,
- but then go ahead and work anyway. Now, the other day I upgraded to
- QDPMI v1.01 which was released just a few days ago (it's available on any
- Simtel20 mirror as qdpmi101.zip under the \qtrdeck directory), and it does
- not do this anymore. I think that QEMM386 users should try this out as
- well (waiting can be so tough :) Also, I think PKWARE should releasize
- that there is a problem with their all their DPMI code, and get that
- checked out as well...
