Well...  There's almost nothing which needs to thunk to 16 bit anymore. The
only ones that are still thunked to on an average basis are already taken
care of in the KBDVIO32.DLL..

Thunking could be supported in a future version.. I'll ask blake & rene
about it..

As for the {$I-} and {$I+} stuff..  I don't use it, There's always better
ways :) (and much FASTER ways)

Just move the {$I+} before the EXit command! :)
