DOS32AWE - RAM wavetable MIDI possible for PM games under DOS (Announce)

> ... so I'll try next weekend.

The final status: there were 2 problems, both fixed:

1. The (well-known) issue that DOS/4G doesn't route NMIs to real-mode.

2 The already mentioned problem with IRET in v86-mode. This has turned out to be rather tricky to fix. It was a futile approach trying to patch AWEUTIL - both Jemm and HDPMI have to care for it.

So the AweMidi.exe binary has become obsolete, AweMidi just consists of a preliminary JemmEx v5.87 and a preliminary HDPMI32 variant ( HDPMI32n.exe ).
