If you just want to print the sources (or any text file), use djgpp's
bin2h program.  That will turn the source into an includable .h file
which you can use to print from.

Any program that relies on extra data being "after the executable" is
going to have problems with djgpp, because "the executable" is only 2k
bytes long and the whole program is already attached after it!  That's
how we manage to run 32-bit programs in a 16-bit environment.
