I have just uploaded a program called RABIT to drycas.club.cc.cmu.edu.
It is in [.info-dec-micro.uploads]rabit02.zip.

What it is:
	RABIT is a TSR that is designed to trap the bad interrupts
	that PC compilers generate on the Rainbow, enabling programs
	like Turbo C++ to run the Rainbow w/o code blue (command line
	version only).

Known problem:
	RABIT does not get along with Code Blue.  If you run code blue
	with RABIT installed, your rainbow will crash.  I'm working on
	a command line version of RABIT that will get around this
	problem, but I have not completed it yet.

Many thanks to my beta testors for this.  An extra special thanks to
Jim O'Brian.
