It is true that V30 can work like an >80186 but can a V20 ? And can they both work like 80286 ? If will they run >*OS 2* ? (My understanding is that the v20 and v30 are related just as the 8088 and 8086 are: differing only in data-bus width.) I have compiled various programs (microemacs v3.9e being the largest) under TurboC's 80186/80286 option, and they work fine on my v20-equipped Z-158. The improvement in size and speed is small, but positive. I've stopped doing that routinely, as I was giving code to others and having it break for "mysterious" reasons. Eventually I remembered that 80186 option ("oops. hehheh...")
