It currently does not support 16-bit DPMI applications or DOOM. It does support virtual memory and hardware interrupt reflection from real mode to protected mode. DJGPP V1.1x and RSX applications will also run using this server, which can be used to provide enhanced control over hardware interrupts. Some DPMI 1.0 functions (0x506, 0x507, 0x508) have been implemented. Please report any applications which do not work properly to the address above. Directions for use (server can be used in either of two different ways): 1) "cwsdpmi" alone with no parameters will terminate and stay resident FOR A SINGLE DPMI PROCESS. This means it unloads itself when your DPMI application exits. This mode is useful in software which needs DPMI services, since CWSDPMI can be exec'ed and then will unload on exit. 2) "cwsdpmi -p" will terminate and stay resident until you remove it. It can be loaded into UMBs with LH. "cwsdpmi -u" will unload the TSR. 3) The directory used for virtual memory swapping, if required, is controlled by the environment variables GO32TMP, TMP, and TEMP in that order. I would like to give special thanks to DJ Delorie who wrote the original GO32 code on which CWSDPMI is based. Morten Welinder also provided and improved much of the code in this program.
