Would you care to engage in public speculation as to how IPASes might be implemented as DLLs under WinNT? Or how hard/easy it would be to make porting them from DOS to WinNT? Or whether developers would need to keep separate code bases for each implementation? Are you saying there's going to be a WinNT do_dialog(), along with all the other DOS-specific IPAS calls? Will there be a main() that's called repeatedly, so older state-machine IPASes will continue to work? What about running more than one 3DS/NT on a system, and how contention between DLLs might be managed?
