   That was in reference to the 32-bit portion of PDOS/386,   
   which is almost everything.   
      
   And just now the 16-bit bootloader can be built with   
   Visual C++ 1.52, which I think can be obtained via   
   the MSDN (I instead got mine from ebay a few weeks ago),   
   and runs under modern Windows (although you get an out   
   of memory error if you don't specify "-f"). But I needed to develop   
   my own crude exe2bin since that was only ever supplied as   
   a DOS executable (Watcom has one too, but the version I   
   tried crashed, and I don't want to be dependent on copyrighted   
   freeware anyway).   
      
   The bootsector was already able to be built with masm.
