ANNOUNCE: beta "cwsdpmi" for Executor/DOS
Hi Folks,
If you're an E/D user and are feeling adventurous, you can pick up
ftp://ftp.ardi.com/pub/Executor_DOS/beta_cwsdpmi/csdpmi2b.zip and use
the replacement cwsdpmi.exe. It's a new DPMI provider that fixes a
few bugs (you can see the author's note below).
There's absolutely no reason to pick this up unless you just feel like
getting something new. We won't even be using this cwsdpmi.exe in the
final release of Executor 2, but if anyone sees any differences with
the new version, please let us know.
NOTE: I have permission from Charles to put those two .zip files on
our site. He likes us and he likes Executor users, and we (at ARDI)
like him a lot, since Executor/DOS is dependent on DJGPP/cwsdpmi.

I have put together a new release of CWSDPMI. Release 2 fixes bugs in handling
lots of memory zones (it is now configurable), problems with XMS memory
handling (HIMEM.SYS only operation), allocation of memory blocks in the 60-64K
size range, and deletion of the pagefile on exit.
I have put a copy on XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX in username: XXXXX, password: XXXXXXXX.
The binary (csdpmi2b.zip) and source (csdpmi2s.zip) are in the default
directory. The parameter setting source/binary are now included in the
normal distributions. I consider it to be in beta for about a week.
If I haven't heard that it makes things worse or breaks something new,
this distribution will be released by the end of June.
This is the first time I've used this distribution, so if you don't want
to see further notifications, let me know. Good luck.
