Certainly not!  Running BCX currently precludes running only in Enhanced mode
but not Standard mode.  All you need to do is run TKERNEL before you load
Windows (using WIN -S) and you can run BCX to your heart's content under
a protected mode Windows.

Here's the batch file that I use, "WS.BAT":

	tkernel hi=yes kilos=1024
	win -s
	tkernel rem

it gives me about 800K of room for BCX to compile in...
