   Don't know, but that definitely looks as if it might be something for   
   the mini-FAQ when some sort of conclusion is approached.   
      
   It's clear that you cannot get the BP compiler to run; hoe about TP,   
   TPX, TPC, BPC if you have them?  May not solve the problem, but could   
   give useful evidence.   
      
   It's not clear to me whether existing DOS mode, DPMI mode, Windows-mode   
   programs will run.
