Ah, right. Makefile target "debug" turns compile time range checking 
on; FindFirst was correct in unit Dos, but not here. Fixed in SVN 
now.

I can send you the OS/2 .cmd files I use (starting with selection of 
the right compiler version up to complete snapshot building process) 
if you want. Nothing spectacular, just to save some time.

You're certainly more than welcome. ;-) I know at least two OS/2 
debuggers with full source code available (OpenWatcom and IBM's 
SD386), but these aren't written in Pascal, of course (i.e. they 
could be possibly used for reference, but nothing more).
