- |Funny. I have Borland C++ 3.1, DOS 5.0, and Windows 3.1 all installed on my
- |486 clone. HIMEM.SYS is loaded, as well as EMM386.SYS (which is configured

- Shouldn't be so funny, after all, the main advantage of DPMI over
- previous such systems (VCPI etc), is that programs should be able to run
- under each other's DPMI hosts.
