I have the LKM loaded, and a doscmd built with the new kernel headers, but no soap. Is entry to vm86 mode still via sigreturn as per normal? > Please try these patches.

It's way too 11th hour, but I'll be asking Jordan to put whatever the most current 'stable' doscmd might be on the 2.2 CD. > Jonathan -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control.
