I think the >complaints were pointed towards real-mode and/or 16-bit compilers. yup. that is how I meant it. more to the point, I'd like it to be able to run even on an old xt clone (granted, things on an xt aren't going to be blindingly fast, but there are lots of xt machines still lurking in the shadows out there). and, of course, it's probably a pointless issue, since the compiler vendors for dos machines aren't likely to do anything about it.... :-( as we all know, that (in their opinion, at least) is a feature, not a bug. --jim DISCLAIMER: My cat typed this for me, and I didn't proofread it.
