It is half TP 5.5, half assembler. The code will not port to FPC or even 
TP 7 without a substantial amount of work. There is also a great deal of code
to handle dialup modem sessions.

Even the utilities that make up the "builder", the setup wizard / installer,
help system compiler and other stuff will not compile on anything newer.
