  I don't have any access to Windows 3.1 development tools, so I don't
know how much I can help.  Perhaps if you posted the specific error
output you get we can make a little progress.
  It's not clear to me that a 16-bit port would be very useful to many
people, but it's always good to identify places in the code where
there are unnecessary assumptions; that will help anyone on a 64-bit
platform as well.
