I wouldn't claim we need an emulation of sgdt. One or 2 exotic apps do not count much, considering the overall small usage of dosemu and an easiness of re-adding them to dosemu itself. So if it makes any sense to not add it for vm86, then please leave it omitted. However it seems Andy wants an overall completeness here, lot let me just say I'll be fine with either option. > Perhaps sidt? If only for overall completeness.
