Subject:	djgpp and dos 6.0

I recently installed dos 6 on my machine and, to my surprise, everything worked just perfectly. When i first installed djgpp (with dos 5) i had some problems 
with the memory management and the mode in which the processor ran together with
QEMM. Well, after the installation of dos 6, everything works just perfektly,
without even a look at the parameters for dos 6 "built-in" memory manager.
Also, since dos 6 supports multiple system configurations (very neat), i have 
one configuration that creates a 3.5 meg ramdisk and throws all needed gcc file
on it,including source editor, libs,includes etc.Compiling takes less than 2 
seconds for a 2000 lines source, and the hard disk is never touched. This is 
specially suitable when debugging new code (that is, add a "}" and recompile, 
add a "&" and recompile...  :-). So, compiling is now as fast at home as on 
the Sparc in front of me.
