This is a goobye note to the DJGPP newsgroup and a congratulations note to
DJ Delorie and all the people that helped him writing DJGPP.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I tried DJGPP and i like it, i really like it.
Unfortunately i think DOS is a thing of the past. 
As much as i don't like it, i think the future is in Windows programming.
Windows programming can only be taken serious, if we use a programming tool
specially designed for Windows (wich DJGPP isn't).
For this reasons, i'm gonna abandon DJGPP and starting using Visual C++ or
Borland C++.

This is my last message to this newsgroup, so i want to thank all the
people that helped me, by awsering to my stupid questions that i posted
(specially Eli Zarestkii for the emails that he send me)
I have learned a lot with this experience. I have learned about protected
mode programming, DPMI and other stuff that i think are very important
concepts and that every programmer should know.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------
I wan't to congratulate DJ Delorie for he's great work with DJGPP, and all
the people that help him developing and documenting DJGPP.
Sorry about living you guys, but you know: if you can't beat them, join
them!

Keep up the good work...

Thank's and Goodbye to the DJGPP group...
