- There's actually more general DPMI problems... another known bug is
- that it won't store volume labels.
-
- You should override using dpmi with a switch when using windows if any
- problems appear. I suggest reading the manual.doc.
-
- If you make a program which works fine in most cases and make a switch
- to be used in other cases, your program doesn't have a bug. Neither
- has pkzip.
