As you will note, I said that 32-bit DOS will require some one else to step
forward to help with the implementation.  I have no interest in getting a
32-bit DOS version working.  But I do want to keep as much of the old
platforms running with any updated code as long as it is reasonble.... 
Because of my specific interests, it will be up to others to step forward
to help that become true for some platforms.  It looks like with Open
Watcom, I may be able to do more that I originally expected, at least for
compiling for various platforms....  Time will tell....

 VC> Other than that I would be happy with the OS's mentioned.

Thanks for your input.

Take care.....
