But as DJ suggested, djverify will have some specific modes. Only one of them
will be interactive requiring firing up TV framework. As to compatibility
problems, I have run several programs compiled with your port on quite wide
range of computers (from 386DX40 to Pentium 200MHz) in various configurations
- no problems. 
Something else has just came to my mind: what if the user runs djverify on 286
or 86 machine. I mean, I have never run any DJGPP program on such. Does the
stub say something?
