What is actually the case is that the production of real mode apps has not been implemented and QA'd to the point that we are willing to advertise it as a supported feature of BC++. However, the capability is there. You need to use the REALMODE keyword in the def file. There are some circumstances in which TLINK will produce a warning message that includes a phrase something like "Real mode apps not supported". If that happens the resulting exe will not run under real mode and you need to change a reference to a non-public far symbol at the segment:offset indicated in the message, to make it either public or not a far reference. So, try it out if you really need it, and report any problems, but we will not call it a supported feature until TLINK can handle those cases for which it now produces the warning message and it has gone through the full QA cycle.
