David,
You're right of course. It was the half-a**ed 286 arcitecture that
spawned 24-bit DPMI, and those geniuses at Microsoft who decided that
they wanted to support this lame addressing method instead of the
386's flat mode. At the time they came out with Windows 3.0, a LOT of
people were slapping their foreheads and saying "WHY? WHY? WHY didn't
you blow off the 286 and just support the 386? You guys are nuts!"
How right those head-slappers were.
