Network - VCPI (Virtual Control Program

Interface) An interface developed by Quarterdeck Systems, Phar Lap Software, and other vendors. VCPI provides specifications to enable DOS programs to run in protected mode on 80386 and higher machines and to execute cooperatively with other operating environments (most notably, DESQview). As the first DOS extender, VCPI became a de facto standard. VCPI is incompatible with DPMI (DOS Protected Mode Interface), an alternative DOS extender standard developed by Microsoft.
