I used Turbo C 1.5 in line mode (the TCC compiler) for several months
on my Z-100.  I have not tried compiling Turbo C 2.0 on the Z-100,
but I do know they changed the run time package slightly (they call
the IBM format of the BIOS for the timer ticks) so that running Turbo
2.0 code on the Z-100 causes a wild interrupt.  This can be fixed,
since they give source to the startup routine, but I didn't bother.

Note that not all of the runtime library supplied with Turbo 1.5 will
run on a Z-100, for example I never even loaded the graphics library.
