As I see, the __BOSS__ should be defined to make startup code which
allows Protected Mode execution (using DPMI). However, in BC 3.0 it
has bugs and, at least if used in Real Mode, can cause crash.

If not described in Borland C manuals, I don't know :-(.
Can try ask Sidney Markowitz <sidney@borland.com>, he may know
(his machine is frank.borland.com, do you remember stories
 about Frank Borland in old Borland's documentation ? :-).
