	Actually, if you unpack them, they both say the same thing, so
	presumably they both make the same "mistake" to prevent VirMem
	/32-bit clean operation.  Both supposedly produce 32-bit clean
	code even if the compilers themselves aren't, so I guess it's
	back to using whichever compiler you prefer (shucks.)

	BTW, I installed both patches w/out any problems.  THINK needs
	some congratulations for this fantastically simple method of
	distributing upgrades.  If they'd just make the THINK C debugger
	look like the THINK Pascal one, and give me _real_ C++, I'd be
	completely thrilled.... :-)
