That is an extra effort for which I'd like to express my appreciation, as
one of the people who get involved in discussing the technical fine
points, or shall we call it nitpicking <grin>. The DJGPP community seems
filled with people helping both each other and the larger world.

Maybe there's a moral here. At the time I posted, I was just curious about
the technical fine point -- but I could have and should emphasized your
effort both in porting to DJGPP, and in keeping a 16-bit version available
for those on pre-386 systems.

Well, better late than never.

Most respectfully,
