   It is half TP 5.5, half assembler. The code will not port to FPC or even    
   TP 7 without a substantial amount of work. There is also a great deal of code   
   to handle dialup modem sessions.   
      
   Even the utilities that make up the "builder", the setup wizard / installer,   
   help system compiler and other stuff will not compile on anything newer.
