Hi netters,

	I was wondering if anyone can help me with this :  Is it possible
to run a Turbo C program (generating 80286 code) on 386 protected mode? 
Someone has suggested to link the compiled C code with a piece of code to 
initialise the machine into protected mode, but I realise 286 only uses
16bit (am I right?) for addressing, so is there a solution (or problem) ?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

				Thanks
