either
- realone doesn't need it, only rp8 does
or
- NT4 is close enough to POSIX to work without this wrapper
  (pncrt.dll is a wrapper around basic libc i/o functions, it does
  nothing just convert between C and PASCAL (or in other name,
   __stdcall__ and non-stdcall) calling convention).
  I remember from old times, that nt4 had some posix compatibility, it even
  supports hardlinks on ntfs. Most CAD apps could be easily ported from
  unices to nt4, but was not to win98.
