I mean easyer to build the data structures in memory. This is a big
part of the problem for Fat32.

I can run dpmi program all right, I just use FDXMS. Excuse me tom, but
FDXMS+UMBPCI is a more powerfull tool than EMM386-without-DPMI.
That is why I never even tested emm386, sorry I need protected mode...

AND, after FreeCom with XMS-SWAP even without UMB, life is endureable :)
