I am looking for some ideas on why I can't get the simulation programs
from volume III of the PDP books (version 1.1 in main.c) to compile
and work under TurboC version 2.0.  I am most interested in the bp.c
simulations, although it seems that the problem will occur in any of
the simulations.  Specifically, after compiling, which works after
commenting out the int_handler() function in general.c, and
running the program as:

> bp xor.tem xor.str

I get an out of memory error (I believe it came from the function char
*emalloc(); in general.c, called from init_command()).  Has anyone
tried to do this and figured out a solution?  Or does anyone have any
suggestions?  It seems that turboc is malloc'ing differently, or
returning a different type of pointer than Microsoft C does.  I have
successfully compiled and run the bp program under Microsoft C, with
the medium memory model, and am trying to use the huge memory model in
turboc.

Thanks for any help....
   Jim
