Re: Illegal op ff e8 2c in newer dosemu

[Paul Crawford <psc@sat.dundee.ac.uk>]

There is a difference in 64-bit vs 32-bit, and it is more than just the 
problems of no vm86() call so hardware interrupts are not properly 
handled (aside - is that fixed now/soon?).

I found I could use the MS C6.0 compiler and the 'PWB' (programmers 
workbench) for compiling the DOSD software OK under 32-bit Linux, but 
not under 64-bit as the dosemu instance would simple exit, as if exitemu 
was called (but it wasn’t). While I know MS had a lot of dubious and 
undocumented calls, the difference I saw was definitely a memory issue, 
and maybe related to the various XMS/EMS extenders that were needed at 
one time, when 640k was no longer enough for everyone...

Regaeds,
Paul
