But as you mention the rest of the tools are slow, too. And if the job gets
big enough you can't bind it under UNIX, because it's too big for UNXUDI, and
the Xenix version uses up too much VM because of a problem in x286emul.

But intel *does* claim to support the thing. To not provide support for the
best development systemm they offer is lunacy.
