Hi Albert!

Thus quoth Albert Sodyl to ALL :
 AS> I have a question for all you people who know technical stuff about OS/2, 
it has something to
 AS> do with programming, and I don't know what I can answer to the bottom
message, can anyone
 AS> help me?

 AS> =================================================================== Why
is Ralf Brown's
 AS> interrupt list peppered with API calls marked "this function is
incompatible with the OS/2
 AS> compatibility box"?
===================================================================

This applies to the old fashioned OS/2 1.x DOS compatibility box only (the so
called 'penalty box' ;-)

Beginning with OS/2 2.0 there no longer was that single (!) DOS box, but
almost as many virtual DOS machines as you like which may run different real
mode or DPMI compatible OS.

bye, Dani
