   Hi Herbert.   
      
   Your code has been put into the PDOS tree   
   and then (a degree of) Windows graphics   
   support was added to PDOS/386 to support   
   this code.   
      
   So THIS became the reference. So now on PDOS/386   
   you can build a graphics executable that works   
   on both PDOS/386 and Windows (I use Windows 2000).   
      
   pdos.zip at http://pdos.org
