have more than 10 environment variables defined in it. I added no bounds
checking or dynamic allocation, so if the file contained more than 10
environment variables (and it has since 2002), other stack memory in DOSXTRN
would get over-written (classic buffer overflow).

When I recently experimented with adding another environment variable (PCBDIR),
all dosxtrn NTVDM instances would crash with a familiar but mysterious error
dialog. This bug may have been causing other dosxtrn instances to crash for a
long tmie.
I also had an arbitrary limit on the number of command-line arguments, 16, with
no bounds-checking, so passing a long list of space-separated arguments could
also crash DOSXTRN.

So I've increased both limits to 32 and added bounds checking. I had to break
out the old 16-bit MSVC (v1.52) and an NT2K DDK (and remove the 64-bit int
stuff from gen_defs.h) to get this thing to build. But here it is. Updated
again after all these years. Who'd a thunk.

Most of the copyright years in the source code were misleading (the date of
most recent publish was actually later) and all were unnecessary. I've been
removing copyright years piecemeal, for a long time, but I decided it was time
to just perform a bulk search and (mostly) replace. In some cases, I left
old copyright years on files that either are not used (and soon to be removed)
or obsolete and unlikely to ever be touched again (e.g. Win9x FOSSIL VXD). Some
of the runtime binaries still contain copyright years and those were updated to
2018.

If the sbbsexec.dll (VDD) load from the exec dir fails, load without a path
specified (e.g .from \windows\System32\).
Do not specify an init function, apparently not supported by Vista -
RegisterModule() fails with AX=1 when an InitFunc is specified.

Added optional debugging of FOSSIL functions (counts number of calls to each).

Uses new fossdefs.h to fix "baud_rate" field value in information block and

Consider doing the same for all .h files.
Consider the meaning of sanity.

Added support for naughty FOSSIL programs (e.g. IceEdit and OOII) that call the int14h ISR directly rather than issue an interrupt.

Added intelligent yielding for FOSSIL and DOS I/O programs that poll for input (eliminates CPU hogging).

Eliminated unused code.
