Wow, really? Guess I'll have to run right home and delete all that stuff
from my Development .GRP ;-)

Seriously, you most certainly CAN run BCX under Windows. Follow this
procedure (which is outlined somewhere in the manuals, but I've
forgotten exactly where):

1. Run TKERNEL.EXE from DOS before starting windows.

2. Start windows in either Standard or Real mode. Note: Your statement
above is correct *only* if you add the words "in 386 Enhanced mode."

3. Start BCX from the Program manager as you normally would.

Works just fine for me.

As to why you would want to run BCX from within Windows, I don't know
about you, but I often need to switch quickly from "edit the source
code" mode to "run the program" mode, and starting/exiting Windows
every time gets to be a REAL drag.
