If I use $CPU 80386 in a program, will the program automatically
abort with a runtime error if the program is run on a machine less
than a '386? I am trying to figure out whether I really need the
code for testing for the 8086/8088/80286/80386 before finally
testing for the 80486. *IF* the PB EXE's will automatically abort
on too low of a processor, then my OBJ file should be able to go
directly to testing for a 80486. Doing so requires using the registers
in 32-bit mode. I have no end machines to determine the answer
myself.
Thank you for any replies.
