DJGPP is a 32-bit C/C++/Ada95 development environment > -------------- for the MS-DOS environment, based on the GNU tools. Why "MS-DOS" ? MS-DOS is dead. Killed by its creator Bill Gates. :D There is FreeDOS instead (plus some others). Additionally, if you look on posts here, most people seem to develop with Winedowns (mostly XP), not with DOS :-( :-( What Targets does DJGPP support ? Probably CWSDPMI (I made bad experiences with it with Free PASCAL). Some others also ? CWSDPMI is 10 years old, maybe it was the only uncommercial DOS ext. 10 years ago. But now, DOS/32A is availabe. It seems to be better than CWSDPMI (faster, no SWAP). Further, CWSDPMI seems to be higly incompatible with almost all others, which are supposed to be compatible one with other (DOS4GW, PMODE, CAUSEWAY, DOS/32A). Will DJGPP support DOS/32A one day ? Are there some advantages of CWSDPMI against DOS/32A ?
