- ---------------------------- Updates to PMODE/W ------------------------------
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- PMODE/W v1.0:
- -------------
-
- ) First release of PMODE/W.
-
- PMODE/W v1.01:
- --------------
-
- ) Now even smaller in size (less than 8k).
-
- ) The DOS critical error handler is now included in the clean up process.
-
- ) 32bit far pointer fixups are now supported (though we doubt they are used).
-
- ) PMWSETUP updated to reflect the fact that the number of real mode callbacks
- allocated cannot exceed 0FFh.
-
- ) PMODEW.EXE will no longer crash the system if run by itself (though you
- should not be doing that anyway because its pointless).
-
- ) After that, we found a small bug in our INT 31h DOS memory block functions.
- Needless to say, it is fixed now.
-
- ) INT 21h function 49h zeroes the ES selector when that block is successfully
- freed.
-
- ) INT 21h function 48h now returns error codes correctly.
-
- ) After all this, we were bored, so we hunted down and compensated for a
- DOS/4GW and EMM386 bug. EMM386 trashed the high bits of ESP which DOS/4GW
- was assuming to be cleared. This only means that now you can run DOS/4GW
- successfully after a PMODE/W program.
-
- PMODE/W v1.02:
- --------------
-
- ) Maintenance release (documentation changes, added FAQ).
-
- ) Changed the method of restoring real mode IRQ vectors upon program
- termination.
