Is it possible to make a user interface without hdpmi32?
In Qbasic it is, I think, because I have never need it to make screen 12.

A DPMI server is always required to run DOS FreeBASIC programs, but HDPMI in particular is not required in any case. Any DPMI server that properly conforms to the DPMI 0.9 spec should work.

This hint, coming from DGJPP, is confusing ... almost offensive ...

A "server" is usually a big and expensive computer - do I really need such, additionally to my PC ??? :-D

YES, QBASIC runs in 16-bit real mode (bad). FB uses 32-bit PM (better),
but you need DPMI (there are theoretically other choices, but even worse).
This has been discussed several times already.

snip..


A server doesn't necessarily mean a big computer. Think of the client/server model that many networked programs use, that is more the kind of usage of the word 'server' that is in use a here, ie: A piece of software that provides services to clients.

In other words, you can use any of the following servers:


  • WDOSX (usually built-in but see wdxs.arj)
  • HX-DOS (aka, HDPMI32)
  • DPMIONE
  • CWSDPMI (default, very common)
  • the one built into your OS (Windows, OS/2, DR-DOS, Linux's DOSEMU)
