This is all wonderful. Back in 1981 (or 82?) I was using II and often on the phone with Dave Erikson working around issues with my Olivetti PC (back then PCs hadn’t finished standardizing).
I have a VERY OT question (though inspired by all this reverse engineering work):
I use, a lot and for many years, a Mac program that is abandonware at this point. It was written for Intel Silicon, but runs just finethe UI it’s just a simple spreadsheet sort of thing. The UI is for calculating bread formulas, with all the bells and whistles (allowing for pre-ferments, soakers) with easy edits for hydration level, final dough weight, etc.
Apple will soon stop supporting such programs in Fall software updates. I would love to locate a Mac programmer who could future-proof this program for use on Apple silicon. But I don’t know where to start asking.
Any help would be appreciated. (And I won’t post off-topic again.)

newly-compiled 3.5 version working exactly as it should work.
Brilliantly well done, xyghost. This was simply unimaginable until now,
and it's clearly working as designed.
