I have one specific question and one general question about the
Borland C startup code, namely C0.ASM.  I'm working in HUGE model - I
know the .BAT file defines __HUGE__ and builds C0H.OBJ out of C0.ASM.

Specifically, I notice IFNDEF's in C0.ASM on a symbol __BOSS__ .  A
reference to it appears aroound line 100 of C0.ASM.  What is __BOSS__?
What is it's significance?  

In general, i'm faced with the unpleasant task of hacking my way
through this code for a project i'm working on.  Does anyone know of
any magazine articles or documentation (possibly from Borland)
that I could get with info about C0.ASM, the things it's responsible 
for doing, how it works, etc.

Thanks very much!


Fraser
