What to test ?

Fred uses DGJPP:

+ 32-bit version exists and works, and HTTPS/SSL added :-)
- missed the chance to get completely rid of Boreland C :-(
- source must be compatible with very different 2 compilers :-(
- crappy C lib :-(

The problem are not that much 32-bit instrucsions, but more likely the protected mode:

mov ax, $A000 ; VGA area mov ds, ax ; RM: fine | PM: GPF !!!

16-bit registers do work in 32-bit mode too, they are just hell slow :crying: (optimize later !!!).

I could help with the PM (and with VESA mode search), but I have no experience with C+ASM mixing using a linker :-(

When did you split your fork from Glennmcc's one ? Did you at least exchange some patches after ?
