   Thats whats really holding up the show here, is two sets of 3rd-party    
   developer tools that are VERY specific to MS-DOS.   
      
   One is Turbopower's B-Tree ISAM library for the nodelist compiler, the other    
   is TPCRT to replace the standard CRT library.   
      
   I can deal with rewriting the TPCRT components but man, the ISAM code is so    
   deeply nested, so intertwined, so involved with ALL aspects of the mailer.
