	Hi, Can I ask for help with 16-bit Borland DPMI DOS aplication ? I used HX-DOS 2.20 with HXRT and HX16DEV packages. First I patched borland exe file by patchne -r and then start commandline dpmild16 borland.exe file, but the aplication crashed on Full memory :( There must be jemm386 memory manager set with hdpmi16?? Thanks for explanation settings parameters...

Bad, but such things may happen! You'll have to debug your app. First create a very small test app to see if dpmild16 still supports that "borland" way - the last time I checked this may be 15 years ago. My tests are usually limited to MS VC 1.5...

No, jemm is unrelated to hx.
