Using gnu make to run bcc.exe (Borland's 16-bit compiler) under
DOS (Winddoze 95 DOS) provides a nice descriptive error of

"Loader error (0025): cannot initialize"

which I presume is the Borland and GNU tools differing in access to
protected mode.

Has anyone got this to work?

Is there some workaround withint gmake to allow it to call protected
mode applications?

And before you ask, yes I'd love to use GCC but that just isn't an
acceptable option here. Sigh ...

TIA
Stephen
