We'll return to jmills@ccrf-news.gtri.gatech.edu and All's
discussion of C cross compiler for Z80

 jm> In case you're unfamiliar with it, DOSEMU is a DOS emulator which runs

Having played around with DOSEMU (0.60), I'm fairly satisfied.  Though
there has been the occasional unexplained abort, it's basically worked
fine, running this DOS based mail system, which includes GIGO, a
protected mode program; DISPLAY, a protected mode graphics viewer, which
ran very well, and even DESQView! :-)  Only thing it refuses to run is
(of course) Windows. :-)

... I think, therefore I am... I think.
