I had thought, and correct me if I'm wrong, that comp.os.msdos.djgpp was more
for the discussion of DJGPP itself (and it's tools and libraries), rather than
general game theory. In fact, there's a whole hierarchy of
comp.games.development.* which would be more suitable for your discussion.
And you shouldn't base you opinion on what people are using DJGPP for solely on
what comes up on the Web. I use it to compile utilities and quick hack tools,
for final compilations as well as to check ANSI comparability and compiler
portability, for which GCC is an excellent test.
