The gauntlet is down anyway... whether I am right or not can be an exercise 
for the reader. I was extemely impressed with Sheldon Simms' vision. But 
this implementation of mine made me smile... even the crappy Atkinson 
dithering made me smile...

The Microsoft C 16-bit compile is the easy part. It already compiles just 
fine with only one warning, but it won't run properly. The lack of long 
names is not addressed by conditional compilation for MSDOS in the source 
code.  This would amount to considerable reprogramming and making this code 
even messier than usual, and I also don't have the time to test for MS-DOS.

I think a Linux and OSX compile would be wonderful too...

If I got some action on that I might be inclined to refactor the code for 
MS-DOS. My position on MS-DOS utilitities is the same as my position on 
Aztec C65 programming; it's dead.

My position on Linux and OSX (and Microsoft C) is that the source is there 
but I only provide Win32 MinGW binaries... Users of those other systems can 
build the binaries themselves.

It goes back among other things to the Mac user on Apple II Enthusiasts that 
called me a Johnny Come-Lately and told me that Macophile Apps are 
more-better... duh! Ok then let it be so:) We all saw how well that worked 
in the past... but perhaps a jackboot in the arse is still the best 
approach.

Leave the MS-DOS stuff with me though... perhaps my disdain for the lack of 
interest by Linux Users and the lack of everything by OSX users does not 
need to be extended backwards, just sideways:)  My position as always is 
flexible... except on the BMP file format... it's dead dumb simple so it 
stays.
