    Ah, of course, I'm not used to C calling conventions.

start:  les di,[bp+6]

    There's the far parameter, load ES:DI with SS:[BP+6]

 rc>> How often is _normalize called ?

    Eek. No wonder it crashed after a while. I thought it was only called
when fiddling with ROT13.

    It's possible that Borland does stack checking and fixes up this little
problem behind your back, which is why it's worked apparently flawlessly so
