Unfortunately we do not have the knowledge in house to write a working
int86x() for Zortech.  It requires quite a bit of handshaking with DPMI.
We tried.  After spending 2 days and getting nowhere we switched to
Borland C++.  Boy I would love to go back to Zortech.  It's much better
then Borland C++.  But in this case Borland C++ works and Zortech C++
does not.

If there is anyone out there with the expertise to write an int86x()
function that will allow interrupts from Windows 3.0 in protected mode
please let me know how long and how much it would take for you to
implement such a function.  I'm not sure we would do it but I for one
would consider it in order to be able to use Zortech once again.

It is too bad though, I am really disappointed with the amount and
quality of the feedback and support we have received from Zortech.  I
don't know why I thought they were any different then Microsoft ...
