Did you use a disk cache? Try typing "smartdrv" before using any of
the djgpp tools. You can also remove some startup overhead by
running "cwsdpmi -p", which preloads the DPMI server so that the
djgpp startup code doesn't have to do this. See the FAQ (chapter 7
and section 3.9) for more information.
