 ===== Troubleshooting on Real Hardware ======
-First of all, **DPMI32.exe** (from the PC-98 DOS 5.00 disks) and **go32-v2.exe** (which we built from the patched sources, above) work on real PC-9821 hardware, just as they do within the NekoProject II Kai emulator, as long as you have a VCPI service running (either EMM386, VEMM486 or similar), the result is the same.

 Note that this version also includes renamed libreadline.a (libread.a), libstdc++ (libc++.a) and libhistory (libhist.a) libraries, as the defaults supplied with DJGPP are over the 8+3 filename length of non-Windows 95 systems.
+===== Next Steps =====
+Go forth, create code for another obsolete computer platform, and be merry!
