Which is about to happen as we speak. But I doubt it- rumor has it that
all that is ported is the IEVR64 macro.

baseless /direct /strident /unbased /debased /REALspace /un-registered 
/IC-relative
/baseaddressless /relative_adressing /freebase /relative is one issue.

How about 24/31 issues. We get more and more code above (called VSCR)
but lately I did twice run into code that did not check its
requirements and abended deep in some op-sys function.

Just a sidenote (in this matter):
VSE still insists in access method macros be invoked in 24-bit mode(!)
which is not required by the code (at least since VSE 2.3).

Hope dies last.

What a wonderful phase to end my first posting in this new year.
