setjmp, as distributed in TC++ version 1.0 does not save the di
register, but this is fixed, along with a number of other problems, in
Borland's patches.

The patches are available from Borland tech support, from their tech
support forum on Compuserve (GO BPROGB and get TCPPT1.ZIP in Lib 3),
via anonymous ftp from wsmr-simtel20.army.mil in pd:<msdos.turbo-c> or
from wuarchive.wustl.edu in mirrors/msdos/turbo-c, or by email in
xxencoded form from listserv@ucf1vm.cc.ucf.edu by sending it a mail
message that contains the line "get tcppt1 xxe turboc-l" (without the
quotes) as its text.
