I tried a complete reinstall and still got the same results... as soon as
I picked "go" in BIGBANG, it threw an "invalid function" error.  When
INSTALL then went to the next step, EXTERN, it did the same thing.

Tried multiple times with both the standard and DPMI versions, in dosemu
and DOSBOX.

I think there is something with debian 9 that is not compatable.  Upgrading
to it is what broke everything.  I tried downgrading dosemu to the version
that came with 8... that fixed all issues expect the one with TW.  Maybe TW
is using some special IO function that having an emulator running over an
ext file system is breaking.  Who knows?

I shall be looking for a dependable TW server and trying to hook my board
up to that.

Mike
