Including microemacs 3.6.              Also I added OS/2 support in a similar but not       identical manner. That runs C90 apps now (ie       certain OS/2 LX executables), but fullscreen       support is still pending on a couple of things.              In all cases, I am no longer dependent on       registers or stack on entry to the executable,       which clears the way for all executables to       be called with the PDOS-generic stack "standard".              I previously mentioned that I had UC386L, a 53k       Linux executable capable of running a subset of       valid Win32 executables.              I think because I eliminated memmgr, it is still       53k, but now runs the OS/2 subset as well.              BFN.
