Hi! Has anybody experiences with i286 (or i386) Processors in the protected mode? I would like to write applications in C (under MS-DOS if possible) and let them run in the protected mode. Now, how to create the different segment-descriptors right? (Is this the matter of a loader, I should write first?) (My aim is a XINU-Based OS with virtual memory management, running in the protected mode, of course!) Please help! Any hint is really appreciated.

You might try Intel's Coderunner C-386 compiler with DPMI dos extender ($650). -- David Feustel, 1930 Curdes Ave, Fort Wayne, IN 46805, (219) 482-9631 EMAIL: netcom.uucp

The advertisement for the Intel package says that no royalties need be paid for use of the dos extender (ie when selling your program that uses intel's dos extender). Since PharLap and other makers of dos extenders charge royalties for every program you sell that uses their dos extender, why would anyone now use their's. pasquale@sgl.ists.ca
