Okay. I'm working on a command interpereter for DOS.. something to
completely replace the command.com. BUT, I'm having a big problem
since I can't seem to get a DPMI host (server? whatever) up and
running before autoexec.bat is run, by which time if the specified
command shell has any problems it just falls back onto command.com.
It would seem the solution would be to find a DPMI thingie that was
loaded with a device line in the config.sys... anybody know of one? I
thought emm386, but either I'm not giving it the right arguments or
something, or emm386 doesn't provide dpmi services.
