Greetings Mike!
A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, a coded message from Mike Luther
to Don Guy was intercepted...
ML> However that toolset which let you do this for Borland PASCAL, if my

ML> programs. It does not extend to 32 Bit PM style operations. Thus its

Not a problem in my case--all I'm dealing with at the moment are a couple of
quick-and-dirty command line utilities.

Have you given any thought to taking the Java route?
