That's real mode or standard mode. But first you have to preload
TKERNEL. Even better, before that, look in the Table of Contents of
the User's Guide where you'll find the heading "Windows and protected
mode" and maybe a few other useful things.

A protected mode compiler would have to be DPMI compliant to run under
Windows enhanced mode. The only BC++ protected mode tool that is DPMI
compliant is the assembler (TASM). We are converting the rest from the
older VCPI standard (which is what TKERNEL supports), but DPMI
compatibility wasn't considered worth holding up the whole product
for.
