- The tools in the Beta SDK cannot generate Win16 binaries. (Or rather, I

- Nothing prevents the SDK nmake, cvpack, etc. from working to a 16-bit end.)

- While you could run MSC 7.0 on NT to this end, the October Beta VDM isn't
- quite yet up to C7's required level of 32-bit DPMI support. This Beta will,
- however, run the OS/2-hosted version of the compiler (available through
- fulfillment).
-
- I'm not sure whether the next Beta will enable 32-bit DPMI in a VDM or not.
