Just a small point that might screw your sample somewhat, but out of
interest are this utilities available via other mechanisms? Becsue if
nor actually aquiring them from your web page may be somwhat less than
trivial for aforementioned sub 386 user, as there are few web browsers
that will work happily/well on a sub 386.

I for one would from time to time find the lack of a sub 386 version
somewhat awkward, as I was using a 286 and ka9q for DNS, routing and
as a console just the other day. /* superceded by a headless unix box
due to lack of monitors */

One alternative route might be to compile it using a large or huge
model and then run it undeer something like go32.exe or some such.
Which in theory at least should allow a better usage of memory without
prevnting sub-386 compiles.
