This is a small pre-release of PMC by Tran. It is basically a 32bit extender
for Borland C++ 4.0. It is intended for the game/demo crowd. I am but one
person, so except for the little bit of help I am getting from Dave Cooper,
there is still a lot to be done. A lot has already been coded, and it is
included here. No dox have been written up yet, so you are going to have to do
with the examples and sources. This pre-release is intended for all who are
interested in the final release. The functions provided have been tested a
bit, but bugs may exist. The whole thing is geared for game and demo coding.
Much low level control is provided where possible. As of now, it is
functional, so feel free to use it. Don't send me mail asking how this or that
function works, it will be documented in the final release. Till then, play
with it if you wish. But I suggest you do this with a good knowlege of C and
ASM. Also be wary of BCC32 4.00 bugs, there are a few. Don't go blaming my
code until you make sure its not a BCC32 thing. They will all be fixed in a
BC4 mainenance update though, so I am not worried about that.

  Oh well... Gotta get back to work here. Use it, or don't, your choice. Hi
to my friends out there in the U.S. and Europe. As you can see, the PMODE
extender can be used nicely in a high level language. If you want, you can use
it by itself. Or even replace the Watcom C default extender if its possible.
