   Those folks with an eye on the CVS mailing list will have noticed a few last   
   minute commits just now. All very minor, but I thought they were worth doing   
   for the upcoming 3.3.0 release of MakeNL.   
      
   Among other things I've fixed the code to build again with Turbo C++ for DOS   
   from 1990. I thought I'd have to do this using DOSBox, but I managed to build   
   & test it in Windows 7 (running in VirtualBox). To my surprise it all ran   
   without any problem. Credits to Microsoft there for backward compatibility.   
   Very backward ;-)   
      
   Incidentally a few weeks back I did a cross-compile of MakeNL for my Android   
   phone, just for kicks. No issues there. Consequently MakeNL should run on a   
   Raspberry Pi device running Linux without any trouble.   
      
   I've no idea if the EMX & DJGPP versions will still build. Any problems with   
   those would be pretty trivial to fix, but of course whether anyone actually   
   still uses EMX or DJGPP is another thing altogether...
