Then just don't do that!

Ok, then it's a slight imcompatibility, most likely with no relevance. Please provide a real Win32 application which doesn't run in HX because of that and I will "fix" the issue immediately (yes, I've learned a lot from the DosBox developers ).

My fantastic deb32f debugger still uses DPMILD32 and 16bit dlls. And why removing this support at all? To gain 2 kB extended-memory/disk space? And possibly introducing new bugs during the removal?
