	I have attempted to use it on 386/ix v2.0.1.  I compiles with only
minimal fixes to the makefile, but it just won't run.  Some piece dumps core
and leaves no trace.  Another piece runs forever without producing anything.
Given the press of time, I have read through the code somewhat and have 
checked several things by hand.

	Thanks for the effort, it looks like a good concept.
