        I'm trying to compile and run a program that I wrote, with BP70
'real' mode, in 'Protected Mode'.  This program uses Interrupt 21h
functions B80Xh and E3h, the Novell Netware ones.  The program worked fine
in 'real' mode, but gives incorrect information in 'Protected Mode'.  After
calling Borland, they said it was because the DPMI overlay file didn't know
how to handle the interrupts I was trying to access.  They suggested that I
look at a file from their BBS called READWRTE.PAS that shows how to handle
interrupts in a 'Protected Mode' program.  Basically this example file, just
interrupt 31h (Simulate Real Mode Interrupt).  My problem is that my program
continues to hang up, even after following their example.  Below is a sample
part of my program.  If anyone can lend a hand, I would be in their debt.
