why it does the things it does - it's designed to produce programs
that run under DOS. Not Windows. Not Unix. If you want Windows, use
MinGW - it's the same tools as DJGPP, but for Windows. If you want
Unix, use a native GCC for Unix. Same tools, different target. If
you don't want to build DOS programs, DON'T USE DJGPP. It's the wrong
tool for you.

Apparently.

I guess so. And that *MUST* happen someday, otherwise DJGPP will - see
other
post - be merely an application for some old-time hardware enthusiasts.

That's exactly what DJGPP is.

Thanks for the admittance then. :.-P
I would rather bite my head off than send this post to X-No-Archive. :P
For this must be archived for all times! It's a document of time what you've
just said!
However, I must say it is a very PAROCHIAL attitude!

A sort of "I work hard for the tiny group that loves my tools because they
love ancient hardware as I do" kind of point of view.
Holy ghost, this is such BOG-STABLE software!! And perfectly programmed too!
But it should obey to the rules of modern times someday instead of staying a
sort of "relic" of computer history for all times!
Sure, it's your software, and if you say "it can", it can.
However, keeping this attitude without reacting to criticism and only
shouting around ...

Not at all. DJGPP is a *dos* compiler. NOT A WINDOWS COMPILER. NOT
A UNIX COMPILER. IT'S A DOS COMPILER.

.... would be very wrong-headed then, IMHO.
