All the -br flag does is run ZTCPP1R.EXE instead of ZTC1.EXE, the same
for the other passes. ZTCPP1R.EXE is a dos-extender program. The
banner that says it's a dos-extender program was removed.

Rational's latest version is DPMI compatible, if memory serves, versions
3.81 and later. That version is what ZTC was built with.
