Don Harter, Jr. asked:

: I would like to know if djgpp will run on a 80386-SX microprocessor.  It 
: is an 80386, but it is not a 32 bit microprocessor.  Does anyone have 
: djgpp running on a microprocessor of this type?  If it will not run on 
: it, how difficult would it be to modify the source code so that it would 
: run?.  Thank you for your assistance.

Yep, do it all the time.  BTW, the 80386SX IS a 32-machine internally; the
big difference is the 24-bit address space and 16-bit memory accesses.
But virtual mapping, etc., is all done the (approximately) the same way.
