I'm not sure of the exact cause of this, but it seems that the Turbo comiler
figures out a lot about the machine you are using and then compiles by those 
specs.  The same case is true when trying to run Turbo programs developed on
"compatible" MS-DOS machines on a "true clone".  The screen goes crazy.  This
is odd because the same version/installation of Turbo used on the compatible
will run on the clone, but not the code generated.
