Humm, Janus/Ada never needed (or used) the 80286 protected stuff. We
still have versions of Janus/Ada 83 that run in 640K on MS-DOS; early
partial versions ran in much less memory (the 256K that was common in
the early days of the PC).

The early Telesoft and Supersoft compilers also ran on basic 8086's. So
what are you talking about?

          Randy.
