Hi!

I just downloaded DJGPP v1.2 and v2.0. Great stuff. I played around with
the GRX and BCC2GRX libraries. Works ok, but there seem to be a few 
errors in those libraries. GRX 2.0 and BCC2GRX are still in beta, I know,
but I wonder if there is a work-around for the following problems...:

- the standard font is not loaded...I fixed that one, but still...it 
  should have been working when I downloaded it. :-)
- compiling fldfill.c gives the error 'arguments x and y might be 
  clubbered by longjump or vfork' in 'void floodfill(int x, int y,long c)'
  What does this mean? How do I fix it? Please HELP!!!
- patterned objects do not work...why not? Can it be fixed by using the
  source of GRX V1.2? 

In general...the file IO seems very, very slow...I compiled some version
of DEU (Doom Editing Utility) with both DJGPP v1 and v2. I know v2 makes
EVERYTHING protected mode, but the file io of DEU became extremely slow
compaired to the v1 compiled version of DEU.
Is there a way to improve file IO? (It's in the FAQ...but that doesn't 
help me much ;-).) How can you limit the switches from RM <-> PM?
Help!

Greetings,
 Martin

(I apologize for any spelling mistakes...:-) I can't help it)
