Re: DPMS



If it helps, here are some other errors that I have found with DPMS. First 
of all, none of these apply when in a DOS box under windows. In that case,
DPMS-based drivers are replaced by VxDs and such.

- PKZIP crashes (documented in manual); fix is disabling DPMI support.
- Geoworks won't run, but this might be an incompatibility with Stacker.
  Crashes on startup with DPMS active. Doesn't recognize a stacked drive
  correctly when DPMS not active (there is a fix that I haven't tried).
- Logic Magicians' Oberon System crashes on startup. It rolls its own DPMI-
  compliant dos extender, and comes with Oberon source. Haven't tried to 
  fix it; I have plenty of working Oberon Systems.

There are others that I can't remember right now. I have noticed that apps
extended with Borland extenders, PharLap extenders and Dos4GW work fine.
I haven't tried DRDOS or Novell DOS, and I am unlikely to.
