Great idea, why didn't I think of that? We're already using Blinker (3.30 by
now) for some real mode programs, but a long time ago we switched to Exospace
for programs that used CT III, because Blinker coudn't cope with that then.

Including internal error 1010 and DOS error 55? That would be yet another
reason to experiment with Blinker once more.

Will it do 32-bit OS/2 apps too? And textmode Win32? Would be nice...
