Both Workbench 3.1 and Net Express run on Intel, so COMP-5 is okay
on both. I have mostly tried this by accident - I have never tried to
depend on it working. And GNT's do NOT work.

If you did try to get by with compiling to an INT on one system, and
running on another, note that INT's are quite slow. It does not matter
much when dealing with the user interface, but the difference in speed is
quite amazing.
