I'll have to check if there is a Linux version otherwise a crosscompiler
isn't an issue.  I'm still not sure I even need one anymore but we'll see. 
As far as 16-bit goes, maybe for some PDAs that might be a handy feature. 
I think the 3com jobbers run 16-bit apps.  Could be handy to have a
crosscompiler for those.

Life is good,
Maurice
