Would the __dgpp_nearptr_enable/disable functions have been one of the
results of iD's 'footprint in the sand'? What other changes did they ask
for?

I find this extremely interesting. Pity I wasn't a DJGPP user at the time
Quake was being written.

BTW Why did they stop using DJGPP? Or was Quake 2 also written with it?
