Sorry if this has already come up and been dismissed, but I just got my copy of the DPMI spec and I don't seem to see what I'm looking for. I'm looking for support of shared services, e.g., a network, that might themselves like to be DPMI applications. Everything is there to access TSRs that have loaded before the DPMI control program, but there doesn't seem to be any way to offer shared services *from* a DPMI program. Of course, this may be the idea since DPMI will be supported under OS/2 with real processes and DPMI is really an API (empahsis on the A in API). So, is anything like this planned for future versions (1.0?)? Something on the order of a DPMI TSR "global" to the virtual machines created by, e.g., Windows 3.0? Dan Lanciani ddl@harvard.*
