The new version is built on top of GO32, DJ Delorie's excellent 32-bit
protected mode DOS extender. GO32 should make things noticeably faster and
more robust; however, I have not tested this port of the run-time much at
all, so there may still be a few lingering bugs. (This version is derived
from the Unix front-end, not the DOS front-end, so a considerable amount of
code is completely different.) This version requires a 386SX or later CPU
to run.
Of interest to TADS users: if this version of the run-time proves to be
reliable on everybody's hardware, I will make a separate DOS TADS
distribution for it. This should finally put all our woes with big TADS
games under DOS to an end --- the GO32 version maxes out all the buffers so
you don't have to worry about tuning the heap size, stack size, etc.
