V86MMGR provides services that other virtual devices use to translate V86-mode API function calls when made by protected-mode applications. API translation consists of converting addresses provided by a protected-mode application into V86-mode addresses. The services copy data to the translation copy buffer, allocate buffer space, map memory into global V86 address space, and perform other functions necessary for API translation. The services work only for the current virtual machine.
V86MMGR provides the following API translation and mapping services:
Applications can also translate API functions without installing a virtual device by using DPMI functions.
