DOS also stopped providing LINK.EXE around that time, too. Presumably
all the development tools were better found elsewhere (bundled with MS
C or whatever). I didn't think EXE2BIN was useful at all without some
kind of assembler or compiler, but people here seemed to disagree with
me. (This particular one comes from OpenWatcom 1.5 anyways, so ....)

Presumably HIMEMX. Not sure that FDXMS has been as widely tested
(although nothing is anymore, sigh).

I just wonder which version is Jerome including (3.32? 3.34?). Anyone
have a strong preference either way? (I'd obviously suggest 3.34, but
again, I don't know how widely tested it's been. Just having that 386
patch is good but not necessarily good enough to prefer it
exclusively.)
