Untitled

This article contains a lot of chatter about other operating systems and things that aren't really relevant to the DPMI interface as it exists. I think some of this belongs in a different article.

I did a full rewrite of an overview section now to address this and other concerns. Hope it is now better. Stsp3 (talk) 13:48, 19 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Version

Are there different API versions out there? Google gave me an unclear result. :-( --RokerHRO (talk) 15:38, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, there are. Officially 0.9 and 1.0, but the story is more complicated than that. However, the article already discusses this. --Matthiaspaul (talk) 20:04, 21 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Where can the specification for True DPMI, which is not DPMI 1.0, be found?

Windows 3.0, 3.1 and Borlands C Compiler and Turbo Pascal Compiler do make use of the fully True DPMI specification. CWSDPMI on the other side is following the DPMI 1.0 spec, which is something different to True DPMI. The official DPMI 0.9 specification is a subset of True DPMI and DPMI 1.0, but it does not contain everything of True DPMI. So where can the True DPMI specification be found? If you don't know that i am talking about, read this article: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lynx-dev/1998-04/msg00773.html 93.229.164.202 (talk) 08:39, 11 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
