Of course, I'm not going to state this without checking.

We'll make a deal. If Borland fixes their bug in 32RTM as part of
open sourcing their old 16bit targetting compiler (even lower than the
chance that RBIL will be updated) I'll go for it ;)

I do recognize other compilers but...

re: BC optimizations:

 BC isn't a target for freedos optimizations; there's one and only one
 target to optimize for : WATCOM.
 so BC specific optimization is a waste of time (ours and yours)

This just being tom's opinion but I still agree -- I even agree more than
I did a couple months ago, that's why I rejected my own idea of using
"_seg *" pointers. I played for a while again with Turbo C++ back then but
in the end decided that the difference was just too big.
