Does anyone have any opinions about djgpp v. other DOS extenders?  I am
considering porting my 32-bit DOS app from Borland's PowerPack to a new DOS
extender.  The app is an ATM adapter diagnostic that has a large number of
driver-level functions, including some embedded assembler. What are the
potential risks, benefits, pitfalls, etc?  How about debugging interrupt
routines or displaying/changing virtual memory-mapped memory or I/O locations?
How well does gcc work under DOS?  Are the DOCs adequate?

Thanks for all responses.

Marty
