Hello!


DM> This DosDevIOCtl()?  Is this the OS/2 equivalent of malloc()?

No, it is a call to set/get parameters for various devices (i.e. serial)

DM> How does memory work in OS/2.

malloc() works fine. C is C even in OS/2.

DM> I have heard of LDTs and the GDT.

So nice. I haven't heard of them :)  (But then I am not an experienced OS/2
programmer)


regards,
David
