Hi Dave.

Thanks for the explanation.

That seems to be missing DOSOPEN as well as others.

Note that I received an enhancement to exeload.c
overnight which should allow for much more robust
loading of executables and I'll see what it is
capable of later (source has been committed
already though, and makebios.lnp has the
instructions).

Also the pdld author's concerns appear to have been
allayed.

I will add the missing function names to exeload.c,
which is trivial, and see what happens when I load
pdptest.exe built by Watcom.

I would still need to flesh out my doscalls.c, but
that shouldn't be an issue to get pdptest.exe to run.

BFN. Paul.
