It hooks IRQs while they are handled by the monitor, that is, before any IVT hooker will get control. So HDPMI is ensured to be the first to handle an IRQ, and it doesn't have to fiddle with the real-mode interrupt table at all.

HDPMI is NOT a full DPMI 1.0 host - still lacks a few things...

IIRC Jload checks for "PX" instead of "PE" - this can be fixed by running patchpe.exe.
