MB> One of the things that is a *must* for OS/2 Merlin is the addition of the 32-bit VIO/KBD libraries from the DevCon. This will eliminate 90% of all people's needs for thunking, in my experience. It will also make Merlin-specific text-mode executables smaller (no thunking code and no 16:16 alias memory objects in the EXE). > JdeBP < ___ X MegaMail 2.10 #0: --- Maximus/2 3.01* Origin: DoNoR/2,Woking UK (44-1483-725167) (2:440/4) SEEN-BY: 50/99 78/0 270/101 620/243 711/401 409 410 413 430 808 809 934 955 SEEN-BY: 712/407 515 517 628 713/888 800/1 7877/2809 @PATH: 440/4 141/209 270/101 712/515 711/808 809 934 |
