ZRDX is Copyright © 1998-1999 by Sergey Belyakov.
ZRDX can be used to run programs, designed for DOS4G/W, PMODE/W, DOS32A, WDOSX via Watcom C++, TMT Pascal, LadSoft C, etc. compilers.
Application running under ZRDX can access all physical memory (up to 4G), all DPMI functions (int 31h) are compatible with DPMI 0.9 specification, except fns 0A00h-0B03h. DOS extender provides translation of all functions, translated by PMODE/W, except identification fns, and almost all functions, translated by DOS4G/W. If you are using only standard libraries, these fns are quietly enough for your programs to run. If you call DOS directly, you may examine the list of all translated functions in file 'src/extender.asm'.
You are encouraged to use UPX for packing your executables. It is much more effective than PMWLITE or any other executables packer, and supports wide variety of target platforms.
