A few words

I made this extender for my purposes so do not expect to be a a commercial program that it has anything you have dreamed about. I released this program WITH the source code to learn about protected mode (if you don’t know already) and why not if you prefer, to build your programs under this extender. I am using already my extender to make my own games and demos.

HISTORY

My previously versions of DOS4GB ware just a flat models and nothing more. I used them a lot for a small period of time but they just couldn’t work with WIN95 or anything that used DPMI. Before two months ago from now I have started to write my own extender with the valueable help of the tran’s code. Anyway, I found many sources out there and I learned a lot of them.

CREDITS

I would like to thanx Lorenzo Micheletto, Tran (Thomas Pytel) and so many other guys out there for their help.

PS:DosBox is crashing now (too much system programming in protected mode), but the in the old days, I had been used a lot to my Apps. I am sure it still works in a clean MS DOS system. Anyway its there, to remember and to dictate the young (which they are using Rich Visual IDEs) explorers.
