the presence of a DPMI host, and to obtain an address of a

mode switch routine that can be called to begin execution in

protected mode. <p>

<h2>Notes</h2>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
<li>The entry point returned by <a href="2f1687.html">Int 2FH Function
|
|
1687H</a> is only called for the first switch to protected mode by a
|
|
DPMI client. For further details on the protocol for switching to
|
|
protected mode and the environment after switching to protected mode,
|
|
see <a href="../ch4.1.html">that page</a>.<p>
|
|
|
|
<li>Under DPMI hosts, the major version number is returned in DH and
|
|
the minor version number is returned in DL. There are two decimal
|
|
digits for the minor version number with the least-significant digit
|
|
representing the revision number of the minor version number. Under
|
|
DPMI version 0.9 hosts, DH is returned as 0, and DL is returned as
|
|
decimal 90 (5AH). In hypothetical DPMI version 2.3, DH would be
|
|
returned as 2 and DL would be returned as 30 (1EH).<p>
