In transferring a largish program to use djgpp, I had cause to write
some equivalents to Borland library routines.  The specifications are
those given in my TurboC version 1.5 manual.

The routines I have written are:

	biosmem
	biosequip
	bioskey
	biosprint
using a new include file gppbios.h

and 
	fnmerge
	fnsplit
	getdate
	setdate
	gettime
	settime
	getdisk
	setdisk
	getdfree
with a new include file gppdos.h

They are packaged in the file pjbklib.zip on omnigate, along with a
makefile, readme, and a version which is already compiled in mylib.a

Also included is a version of fcloseall, rather a hack, which may not
work correctly, but a guru could comment on.

Tentatively, I'd like to propose that these get included in the
appropriate include files and in libpc.a when release 1.11 comes along.

Any problems to me :-), and thanks to all the people who have made the
porting task so much easier with their much larger contributions.
