: I know, I got it muddled the first time.
: When I said "Win95 handles the illegal calls better than Dos."
: Either it was before I read Sinans post in another thread of mine or it
: just hadn't sunk in.
: So, why does Dos handle catch SIGSEGV errors and Win95 doesn't??
: Is Win95 just ignoring them to avoid crashes or something??
Actually, CWSDPMI is just a killer DPMI server (Thank you, Mr. Sandman! :)
If you are having troubles with this you could always use PMODE/DJ, it's
about as unpicky about null pointer dereferrences as you can get... My
friend wrote a 3D engine for Watcom that DOS4G/W handled fine. Then he
gave it to me and CWSDPMI spewed out Page Faults and Sig Segs up the
wazoo... I re-stubbed it with PMODE/DJ and all is (not really) well...
It seems DOS4G/W, PMODE/DJ and the Win95 DPMI are really lazy... :)
