   I managed to get PDOS/86 to build with Visual Studio 1.52C   
   yesterday.   
      
   So now both PDOS/86 and PDOS/386 can be completely   
   built with Microsoft tools (I use my own C library though).   
      
   I did take some shortcuts with some helper functions -   
   e.g. signed and unsigned divide is the same - I'll fix   
   that when I see that some code is actually using that   
   difference for a legitimate purpose, which will give me   
   a test case.   
      
   Not sure what I will do next. Could be:   
      
   1. Get z/PDOS to be able to run on ESA/390 (unchanged   
   executable).   
      
   2. Get msvcrt.dll working on win32s and above by opening   
   a text window.   
      
   3. Speed up booting from real floppy disk by reading   
   entire cylinders wherever possible.
