I'm here.  I never did receive your message, but I did get some others
requesting diffs for Jove 4.12.  Unfortunately, the version I have
working with Turbo C is 4.9, which is also the latest version I have
available to me.  (Perhaps the README file should be fixed).

As I recall, the diffs were not that extensive.  Mostly fixing file
I/O stuff (like opening the temporary file in binary, and rewriting
directory search stuff).  Other than that, just make sure that all
routines which return pointers are declared as such (ints aren't the
same size as pointers in the large model).

I would appreciate it if someone could mail me the latest version of
Jove... we're unable to get it via ftp here.
