I also am very interested in getting a copy of the Toolkit that will
easily link with Turbo C.  In the meantime, we have written a
"lead-in" program in Microsoft C which sets up a software interrupt
vector and then spawns the program specified on the command line.  One
has to be cognizant of stack usage in the various programs, but
otherwise this method works.

It is a kludge, however, and a better way would be to have a Turbo C
version of the PC-NFS library.

P.S. I tried sending a similar request to Mr. Arnold using the path in
his messages, but it bounced.
