- I read the Borland information on garbo, and if I understood well DLLs
- can be used (under the DPMI extender of BORLAND) from both DOS and Win.
- If this is true, all this discussion and Duncan's comment are not applicable,
- since one can simply use the DLL for intelanguage programming (biggest
- necessity for OBJ files otherwise) as well as TPU->DLL maintenance. So
- as long as they stick with DPMI all is well; right?
- On the other hand I do not know as much as Duncan or Timo, so could
- someone knowledgeable comment on that?
