That was only additional information, since people may not 
know or remember the difference between csound_con and csound_new.
(I didn't understand it myself until fairly recently - it's like 
Cartesius and Descartes: obvious, but how is one to know until told?)
John builds them, I just said that the csound_new files *do* run 
in 16-bit DOS environment (using the 4gw memory extender).

But on top of this, I also think that it's generally a somewhat good 
thing to have around, esp. if it doesn't seriously complicate 
maintenance and extension of Csound - after all, there could even be 
some users who prefer or are stuck with DOS16 for whatever reasons.

Best regards,
