I have come to the conclusion, that as far as I am concerned,
given the issues with   gettext(),
_conio_gettext/Borland/Internalization issues,
it absolutely is NOT worth my time and trouble to (re) install/modify
all the things that have to be tampered with JUST to explore
'tvision113' !!

So much "bloat" (eegads...the very thing we accuse Win9x to be so
guilty of) is NOW occurring to my nice, well-balenced DJGPP 
installation...  and I see no reason to disturb that balence for just
ONE, quite minor curiousity....
(fortunately, I can always RESCUE my installation from both a 
Zippy-disk backup, and CD-RW backup.... WHEW!)

ADD to that the fact that its wrap up around RH - IDE, which adds
1000% to the build time to the package, instead of the BLAZINGLY
fast and simple, stand-alone and ordinary MAKEFILE approach !!

Just what other packages out there, ACTUALLY fall into the
same category as Tvision113...  I think I might want to avoid them
unless I see a __genuinely__ serious need to re-compile them.
