John,

Any chance you could post the binaries you created somewhere?  Or email 
them to me directly and I'll post them alongside the x5250 repository. 
They should really be posted on the sourceforge site but until we get our 
act together there this could be a handy way to get Bill working.

if you want to understand why that is, there are many good books on
the design of operating systems. please pass them along to redmond
when you're done reading them :)
