Hi,

It may look like I don't like FreeDOS emm386. This is not so, but
it is a fact that I didn't test it: I have a goal for freedos which is
to run a protected mode program, and both cannot coexist.
Fdxms is hust fine for me only because of that, and I _can_ live
without UMB and EMS is possible using ems40.

Doe anyone around have the _knowledge_ needed for for VCPI?
