You seem to be getting a lot of this lately. Just thought I should let
you all know I still appreciate the work being done!
Unfortunately I don't have spare time to help out with DJGPP, and any
attempt to delve into the sources has had my head spinning violently
:) I don't have much experience with _huge_ projects.
I try and put back in by answering questions on the NG when I can and
by releasing toolkits for free like C-Desktop and BlasterLib (which
will be out Real Soon Now (TM) :)
So, three cheers to Eli and all the DJGPP development team!!!
Cheers,
Brett
