To answer your question: yes, and it will be directly available. The real question is, however, what version of DPMI will it be? The answer should include why (vis a vis the 0.9 vs 1.0 problem). Larry, can you answer this one? Mark Kosten

My understanding (gleaned from an IBM presentation where I asked this very
question) is that OS/2 will support up to 48 meg of expanded and extended
memory for the DOS boxes. The expanded memory is DPMI only, that is, no
VCPI support. Maybe QuarterDeck will come up with QEMM/2.

However, I cannot be sure, nor can I be certain this is the "official" reason if indeed this is the case. Marc (Cohen): can you help here?
