- BC uses its own DPMI server when not running under windows and uses
- Windows' DPMI server when it is running under windows. The main README
- file (my install put it in the \borlandc directory) talks about DPMI
- a little and gives some instructions for using a program called DPMIINST
- to install your machine into the server's database.
-
- I haven't had any problems so I can't give you any first hand info,
- but this seems like an excellent place to start. Borland's tech support
- should be helpful on a problem of this nature, as well!
