Hi Kurt, hi FreeDOSers,
I admit that I did not yet actually -read- that "Tutorial 15" site,
but for reference, you can check out the vm386 I copied to
http://www.coli.uni-sb.de/~eric/stuff/software/ (mirrored it, so to say).

I do not think vm386 is the same as the new "Tutorial 15" thing, as
vm386 is: Quite sophisticated, but has some fatal bugs.
It is written in pure Masm or Tasm assembly, so I cannot edit/assemble
it. It uses macros and structures and stuff, so it is not trivial to
change it to NASM syntax.
It contains EMS 4.0 and VCPI and of course a V86 host.
The "Tutorial 15" thing is, as your "Triple DOS" thing, written with a
high part of C in the code and only a bit of assembly, as far as I
understand your mails. This makes improving and fixing the code for our
needs (EMM386 for FreeDOS) much easier :-).

I do not really have any time to read Triple DOS or Tutorial 15 soon,
so you have to check out which fits the needs of a FD EMM386 basis best.
You can find a collection of interesting documents and snippets of them
along with the code of emmsys and pmlib (those are only sketches, only a
fragment of the needed code!) on my homepage, as well as lots of answers
on EMS / VCPI / V86 questions in your mailbox (after mailing the questions
to me)...

Sorry for not mailing more explicit URLs, I think you will find your way.
Check the mailing list archive (if existing) for my old mails on the topic,
where I have probably written a lot about what EMS / VCPI functions I would
consider most important candidates for early implementation and stuff.

PS: What is the Triple DOS URL ??? And of course it is allowed to call me
Eric, for this is my name ;-).
