+GCC & 32-bit code
+-----------------
+Due to the limitations of the COM file format,
+(64KB limit on memory footprint) the code has been changed
+so that the code compiles to a 32-bit COMBOOT program.
+Since the code makes use of BIOS calls, this code cannot be
+compiled into a format which can execute under Linux. As a
+side effect, there is no nice way to debug this code. In order
+to debug this code, you will have to run the code under syslinux.
+
+GCC & 16-bit code
+-----------------
+The code was ported to GCC by Peter Anvin.
+
+OpenWatcom & 16-bit code
+------------------------
+Originally this code was written for the Openwatcom compiler
+and generated .COM files, which could execute under DOS as well as
+SYSLINUX.
