I've spent some time working on it, and Bruce looked at it for about 5min too.
It compiles using bcc in 32 bit mode. 16 bit mode is possible but I had
to leave out command line editing. There are *three* serious problems (if
the version is the same as the one I fished off the munnari.oz ftp
area). One is a null dereference, one is a memory hog problem, and the
other ... I cannot remember. I think I had to use estdio for some
reason... I suppose I could try to post patches if there is enough
interest.
