The 32 bit DOS version should be used when the 16 bit DOS version runs out of
conventional memory (which is very unlikely to happen) or if you want to use
message areas with more than 5000 messages in them. In all other cases, the
16 bit version is the better choice because it uses less memory
-
If you have Windows 95 or Windows NT, you should use the Windows NT
executable rather than the 32 Bit DOS executable. On Windows 95, the reason
is that the Windows 95 DPMI server is a little buggy, and on Windows NT, the
native NT version is much faster than the DOS version. - The 32 Bit DOS
Version is primarily targeted on environments like DESQview, plain DOS or
Windows 3.1.
-
The 32 bit DOS version requries a functional DPMI server to run. Valid DPMI
servers include the Windows and OS/2 DOS box, Quarterdeck QDPMI, and others.
-
In case you are running plain DOS without any DPMI server, `CWSDPMI.EXE'
is shipped in the distribution archive. Simply but it in the same path where
you put `MSGED32.EXE', and it will act as an DPMI server as long as no
other one is installed already. Please note that CWSDPMI is not a public
domain program. It is licensed under the GNU Public License instead. You can
obtain the full source code for CWSDPMI and a copy of the GNU license from
ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/djgpp/v2misc.

The 32 bit DOS version has been compiled using the DJGPP GNU compiler.
