I am not what you would call a professional programmer, I am just now
finishing advanced programming in college, using djgpp, (against the advice
of my professor, by the way, he is a Borland man), however, I would be
willing to help in any way I can.  I run a dual boot, win2k, win98 machine,
so could test any programs if you think a different machine might be
helpful.
