Any info on the new ("homebrew") DOS extender for Turbo Pascal
mentioned in the press?

Specific questions:
  - Can one source level debug such programs?
  - Is BGI supported?  If so, is it a direct impelmentation or is there
    simply an interface to some real mode code?
  - What sort of flexibility does it have in terms of interrupt
    handling (real/protected mode).
  - Is there a way to share memory between real/protected mode?
  - Are math exceptions and DOS error handling preserved?

Actually, I have no desire to get the Pascal product, but am trying to
infer what might happen with Borland C++ in the near future (which I
would buy).
