[comp.windows.ms.programmer] basic question about enhanced mode

owaddell@tope.cs.indiana.edu (oscar waddell) (04/11/91)

I am interested in porting a compiler from the VAX to my 386.  The VAX lets
me play with 32-bit pointers, and 32 bit registers, etc.

What I'd like to do is use Windows enchanted mode to give me the virtual memory
I am so accustomed to.  I'd also like to be able to use 32 bit addresses
and registers.  This port is going to be a real headache if I have to mess with
this segment stuff.

Is this dream achievable?  (do I have to use some kind of DMPI?)
Would it help if I clicked the heels of these funnny red shoes together
three times and repreated "there's no place like unix...."

any help appreciated,
Oscar  (owaddell@copper.cs.indiana.edu)
