Hi, I'm relatively new to this list, but I have a couple questions
that I have about DJGPP.

First of all, where can I find info on when v2.0 will come out and
what enhancements it will have?

I'm currently mainly interested in being able to manipulate the GDT
and LDT (more assembly here than C, I guess).  Anyway, I'm trying
to write a decent multitasking kernel.  Nothing spectacular, just
something that works.  I heard from somewhere that the current
version doesn't support modifying of the LDT, but that this was
planned for v2.0.  Is this correct?

Also, there is a way to allocate descriptors in such using DPMI
calls, but last I tried, that didn't work either.

I'm still just beginning on this kernel, so if anyone can give
me any pointers, I'd be grateful.

Also, while I'm on this thread, where can I find information on how
the DJGPP extender handles the low-level stuff?  I don't have
a particular question in mind at the moment, aside from the ones 
just mentioned.  Are there docs for this, or do I have to rummage
around the source?

Thanks,
Danny Sung
