For the record, the only restriction (if you could call it that) to
posting to this group is that the mail should have *something* to do
with djgpp - using it, fixing it, porting other programs to it,
*anything*.  Since there is only one group, we can't go around yelling
at people with simple questions, becuase they vastly outnumber those
of us who can read assembly code.

Granted, a lot of questions could be answered by anyone with
experience using unix, or by reading the terse documentation, but a
polite pointer in the right direction will do much more for us all
than firing up the flame thrower.

It takes more time to flame than to ignore.

If you feel that you are compelled to read your mail as soon as it
comes in, I have a neat program called `xfrom' that does it for you.
