I wonder what such texts as:

EXE|COM|BAT|BTM|DLL|VXD||A|A01|A02|A03|A04|A05|ADL|ARC|ARJ|ASC|ASM|AUX|AWK|BAS|BIB
BGI|BMP|C|CC|CFG|CGZ|CH3|CHR|CI|CLP|CMF|CPI|CPP|CXX|DAT|DBF|DIZ|DOC|DVI|E|EL|ELC|F77
[cut]

are doing in DJGPP-generated executables? It seems that there are
kilobytes of uninitialized data in every *.exe created by DJGPP.
Perhaps anybody could tell me what they are needed for? Not that this
worries me - I am just curious.
