Started to use djgpp a few weeks ago and I really like it. It's free, not
to complcated and so on. Now I'm just wondering why is djgpp using
protected mode (no real knowledge about protected mode). Does it protect my
programs from crashing? I ask this beacause I'm writing a tiny game library
to djgpp in nasm and to me it's more complicate when you can't use
interrupts (no, I don't use all the slow graphic interrupts).
I know you can do it without interrupts but it seams like unneccesary work
to me. Excuse my bad english.
