- Unfortunately DOS4GW is buggy. A better choice for a DOS extender is
- Flashtek's X32VM - it works with Watcom (and others) - it does cost
- some money, but it's not expensive, and has no royalties. Also, DOS4GW
- is very large - it's a separate program, several 100's of K, whereas
- X32VM is linked with your program, and takes effectively no space
- (executables with X32VM are smaller than executables for DOS4GW, even
- before you count the size of DOS4GW).

- For a free DOS compiler see below.
