- To use the 32-bit one you need a 32-bit compiler, like Watcom C/386
- Metaware High C, or Zortech from Symantec.

-
- FlashTek, Inc. supplies (a crippled version) the one shipped with the
- Zortech compiler. It is also available for Watcom. The complete version
- supports virtual memory, TSR, memory mapped files, VCPI, DPMI, and
- bare bones DOS, and is very small (< 20K) and very fast.
