Just to clarify, I'm not hearing anyone saying that it's definitely not 
possible on Windows today.

As for the past, modern Win systems are very, very different from Win3.1 
running Win32s, which was the minimum requirement for MC back then.

I'm not intimately familiar with the Win3.1 APIs (and I pity anyone 
who's had to even look at them any time in the last 15 years <g>), but 
it does raise the possibility that Raney was quite accurate about 
limitations on such a system, at least in so far as his engine 
interfaces with it.

All that said, we're in 2009 now so I look forward to seeing a 
third-party externals author jump on this opportunity.
