I would like this to be the final message posted on this thread. This
NG/mail list is for programming issues and questions related to DJGPP, not
arguments about better compilers.

IT is my hope that anyone who reads this, _please_ not reply anymore, or if
you feel you really must get stuck into them, do it by email only.

And people aren't even getting their facts straight anymore, which makes the
whole thing irrelevant anyway.

This guy Herman who seems to be having a great time writing everybody off is
not even brave enough to put a _real_ email address on it.

Sorry to add another useless message to the list, but I am hoping that it
will be considered and the thread will quickly die off.

Thanks

Brett
