I have gotten around 3 reports of people trying to use the go32110nt.zip on
NT - and all of them got completely different results.  Jack Woehr reported
that it completely crashed NT when he tried it.  It works (in somewhat 
flakey fashion) on my system.  It works very well on a system at Shell, 
and Chris reports the mouse problem (which I can't reproduce).

I don't think NT's DPMI is stable enough for this sort of code.  It probably
depends on hardware and software config as far as the bugs.  I am looking at
trying to provide a native NT extender, but that's a while away.
