Searching for a good PM library

I'm searching for a good protected mode library, like a normal ol' .LIB
file with its nifty little header file and all that, stuff that I can
simply add to my program at compilation. Something with decent
documentation. If anyone has made or knows of something like this
please email me directly! I would appreciate it greatly!

BTW, I used Borland C++ 5.0.

Thank you and keep programming! =)

Protected mode is not a part of standard C, it as an Intel
processor specific hardware issue, so this if off topic for
comp.lang.c. If you generate any kind of application other than
an MS-DOS executable with your Borland compiler, you are making
a protected mode program. All Windows executables (16 bit and
32 bit) are protected mode programs.

A better place to talk about specific Intel processor memory
models is comp.os.msdos.programmer.

Please read the article "--- Welcome to comp.lang.c! Please
read this first" which is posted frequently to this group by
Billy Chambless so that in the future you will know what
subjects are on topic here.

I received this email from Neil C. Obremski:

This was a response to my post, from which I snipped all of the
cross posted groups except comp.lang.c:

I also mailed the poster in case he doesn't check c.l.c among
the other groups he cross posted to. I am also emailing this to
him despite his kill filter threat.

Neil:

If you asked me once in the past not to email you about posting
off topic questions to comp.lang.c, it stands to reason that I
asked you once in the past not to do this. You are wasting the
time and bandwidth of thousands of people all over the world who
have not the slightest interest in MS-DOS and Intel x86 specific
memory model issues.

So who's the "asshole"?

Jack,

You just wasted my time with this off-topic post.

PMODE by Tran is quite good. you can get it from
ftp://x2ftp.oulu.fi/pub/msdos/programming/

Either that or get Watcom.

I really hate to say this, but you publicly divulged the contents of e-mail
that was sent to you in confidence, without the permission of the author.

Therefore, let us not try to answer the question that you pose.

It's amazing how many of these "outing" posts backfire...

Hi Jack,

I'm sorry to hear about your personal problem, but that's no
justification for whta you did with your posting:

1) *NEVER* post the contents of private e-mail without the explicite
agreement of the sender

2) The newsgroup is not a forum for complaints about problems with
personal problems that you have with someones e-mail.

And a personal tip: it's always safest and best to answer only in the
group. If you get a posted reply, you and others have some right to
react accordingly and everyone knows the jerk for what he is.
