I've upgraded several times but DJGPP still serves me well. That it and its progeny are DOS apps rather than native Windows has never concerned me. I also program in CA-Clipper. The Clipper compiler and its progeny are also DOS apps. Again, no problem for me. In its own infinite wisdom, Computer Associates determined to kill Clipper despite an active user and developer base. Many Clipper developers banded together to create an open-source alternatives to Clipper called Harbour and xHarbour. Look 'em up. The Harbour compiler is in fact a C program whose intermediate output is again a C program. All of Harbour involves itself in a C environment. I can implement Harbour under DJGPP rather than MinGW for example. Were you me, which would you choose? Why? I know where this is posted (comp.os.msdos.djgpp) and expect some bias. -- Joe Wright mailto:joewwright AT comcast DOT net "Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler." --- Albert Einstein ---
