Re: Address space question



Glad things are working better!

Do you have the book "Protected Mode Software Architecture" by AW?
It describes selectors and such, all in one place.  Some of the
content repeats itself, but it does a good job of describing
the structures.  ISBN 020155447X

kind regards,
brian
