	Yes.  Logitech is making noises about providing full support,
but for now you can pull it off you assembly language glue.  Just start
with Logitech's instructions on interfacing to MASM assembly, and build
a compatible calling interface to C (i.e., pop the arguments off the stack,
as M2 wants the callee to do it & C wants the caller to do it).  There
were some games with segment numbers, but we eventually got a binary-only
C library from Network Systems Corp. to interface to our M2 code.
