There is a complete set of my working problems and ways to resolve them
posted to news.software.readers.  Just look up the last month or two's
worth of my posts.  For 16-bit Windows, the problem is to find the right
IDE button for forcing all data into the far heap so as not to overflow
the DGROUP, and the other problem is to get a working malloc, free, etc.,
something that is nontrivial if you try to use GlobalAlloc and its cousins.
