I really like it too. And to answer the original posters question, it is
not just for 386's. It runs just dandy on my 10 MHz. 8088. Pretty fast,
too!

I don't know how I got along without this one in the past. Such fun  to
tinker with. 

I have to admit, when I first looked at the size of the executable, I
was a bit taken aback. Then I read the short doc file and realized most
of that size was due to the built-in help, which is overlayed. The
program loads and run just fine in the 550K or so of free memory I have
to play with after DOS and TSRs are loaded.
