So the code MS released had no Makefile or documentation on how to
build.  tkchia and others fixed that, replaced some OEM routines, as
well as fixed a few bugs that are evident if you do not have MS's
original DOS 2.x/3.x development tools or you are trying to use more
modern MASM tools.  See https://github.com/tkchia/GW-BASIC#assembling
