I must have been reading docs for device drivers, or something...?
Now it returns the top word of the linear pointer, in hopes that this will
just get mushed back together later, knock on wood.
This is enough to survive emx.dll intialization and a printf("hello world")
mainline, but note that we need to properly implement DosQueryHType()
before EMX's printf() will work, though (as it currently thinks stdout isn't
open), so we're not quite through a proper C Hello World test yet.
Wanted to do this now before it gets out of hand.
Ideally, this can be used for a Winelib-like option eventually, too, where you
don't load OS/2 binaries at all but rather compile and link your OS/2-based
source code against this API reimplementation.
It looks like most of the remaining work for that is filling in dozens of
OS/2 APIs that EMX uses at startup just so we can get to our single
printf() call. :)
