Don't have any real data, but I won't be surprised if v1 is unstable on
NT. When I used v1.x, I always knew that to run it in non-DPMI mode
(whenever possible) is safer.

`display' should be on SimTel.NET; aren't the sources there as well? I
looked at that program a long time ago, and I'm not sure anymore whether
it had free sources.

I think you can't, not without a lot of work. `display' uses some very
sneaky tricks to do its magic, and those tricks require direct access to
video hardware via a constant address. I think not even nearptr can
handle that.
That is why `display' saw several major v1.x-compiled releases long after
v2 was already in use.

Is dumping NT an option? ;-)
