  • Version 0.018 is a BETA version, which was quickly superseded by 0.14 on 11/26/98.

DPMI Required

VGen requires a DPMI server, such as CWSDPMI, in order to run. If one isn't found, the program will exit with an error message.

A copy of CWSDPMI version 5 is available here: Csdpmi5b.zip (info) (53 kB)
