	Thanks for the play by play.  This does look involved 'tho.  I'll 
work on it next weekend.  I'll just use Turbo Pascal on my DOS partition and 
hope when I translate it to conform to the ISO Standard, I don't make any 
mistakes (for my project thats due ... uhh .. man, tomorrow!  Sheesh, I  
better get cracking ...).

	Well, I do have GCC v.2.7.0 installed, so I'm assuming the gcclib 
I have is 2.7.0.  I have no idea because the SlackWare setup script just 
installed everything.

	Hmm ... if I install gcc 2.6.3, won't it over write 2.7.0?  

	Can I install GCC 2.6.3 in it's own directory, say in 
/usr/local/bin/gcc263?  That way I won't have to worry about gcc263 
clashing with gcc270.

	Hmm ... I was told that DOSEMU operates in a similar fashion to 
OS/2 VDMs.  In that case, EMX won't work in DOSEMU because it uses the 
VPCI (or is it VCPI?  I always get it confused) protected mode standard.  
'Tho you can get the RSX package which will make EMX use the DPMI 
standard instead.  I know that works in an OS/2 VDM ...

GPC for EMX runs in Linux DOSemu :-)
