     Yes, he may. But, for example, with different option set resulting
executable may work differently (if work at all). The more so, I don't know,
how Michael packs executables, so I can't reproduce _identical_ binary. The
more so, currently EMM386 sources are _not_ compilable by TC/BC at all -
because warnings and because different case names (see my patch, which
fixes this). I suggest, with TCPP same trouble, so, probably, Michael uses
some subtle trick to workaround this in his makefiles.

     This is another story. And, of course, this is very bad. :(

PS: BTW, do you remember, that FreeCOM also isn't compilable by TC/BC (no
or different prototypes; unsupported comments style; using non-defined
variable fddebug; extra warnings like assignment const pointer to non-const;
missing "#include <stdarg.h>"; using "#pragma -a" instead "#pragma option
-a" and using "#pragma option" at all; using explicit "_seg"; etc)? I still
wait, when you apply my fixes for this.
