Here's a patch to have it work (at least under 2.03):

*** djgpptsr.old        Sun Aug 18 18:36:46 1996

  /* End undocumented way to make exception handling disappear */

   {
     __dpmi_regs regs;

     regs.x.dx = (256) / 16;            /* paragraphs */
     __dpmi_int(0x21, &regs);
+    return 0;
   }

Someday maybe I'll get around to refreshing the zip, it's only 6 years old ...

Correction - it works on Windows 2000 - sometimes.  The problem seems to be
in the peek/poke of the video buffer which sometimes needs a kick to work
properly.  I've seen this before with symify (it can't find the traceback)
under Win2K.  Sometimes running a DOS app which pokes the video buffer 
wakes it up.  But the TSR portion seems to work just fine (the upper right
hand corner changes background color about once a second).

I didn't try XP, but DOS, Win 95, Win98 and Win2K is a fairly wide range of
platforms to test with.
