Actually, the PhotoShop plug-in documentation is available, so you could see exactly which functions they could possibly call. Or you could use one of those nifty Windows disassemblers to see which calls they make. What, you don't think it's possible for a really smart programmers to make a Windows .EXE loader that magically resolves the clearly exported Windows functions with equivalent stubs under PharLap, and solves the thunks in a similar manner? 🙂 Actually, I'm very curious to talk with anyone who knows more than I do about the "Windows under DOS" technology you see described in the PharLap TNT kit. At the very least, it looks like they can emulate DLLs, which is very interesting if you wonder if 3DS will be ported to Windows, and how all the IPASes will get ported on that fateful day, too…
