I was just curious about this. If the code 
segment is not writable, it seems to imply some 
sort of immunity to viruses for DJGPP programs.
And I also read from somewhere in the FAQ that
DJGPP programs have the ability to detect if
their COFF image becomes corrupted.

With so many viruses spreading around, does 
this mean that DJGPP programs are safer from 
viruses?
