Ah-hah. I had some problems with the MSDOS version of TXD. Running
it on a UNIX box or a Mac made them go away, so I suspect it's a
memory problem that causes it not to work on DOS. (i.e. TXD wants
more than 640K.)

In other words, your choices appear to be: a. use a non-MSDOS
operating system, b. build (or get someone else to build) a go32 (or
other extended/expanded/etc. memory) version of TXD for MSDOS,
c. build (or get someone else to build) a Windows version, or d. give
up.
