I don't think you will get this working, since IIRC the segment registers 
of the generated code are used for temporary storage. I once had a patch 
to correct this, which was what JPI (as they were called in those days) 
used internally to bootstrap their first protected-mode compiler, but I 
think I have lost it.

I _have_ had a certain amount of success with version 3 of the compiler, 
but have not yet located a good debugger. I spent a chunk of this very 
morning looking at the debugger that comes with the newest Clarion to see 
if I could get that to do the job, but it's looking for debug information 
at the end of the .exe file which v3 doesn't emit. I believe there is a 
Windows version of VID but haven't yet laid hands on it... has anybody 
had any success along these lines?
