Re: Crash on app startup with cpuemu=vm86(corrected)

["Andrew Bird (Sphere Systems)" <ajb@spheresystems.co.uk>]

Hi Bryan,
	Mmm I wondered about that, but thought that DPMI support meant that the 
executable had to be running in protected mode. The fly in the ointment of 
course in that argument is whether a TSR(btrieve) could be run in.  So am I 
better off to rebuild the host machine to i386 arch (32bit) and run with 
_cpu_emu=off, will that give me near native speed?

Thanks,


Andrew
