DJGPP runs in the native mode of 386 and higher processors with 32 bit
protected mode addresses (4GB) and data (+/-2G) instead of 8086
emulation mode with 20 bit real mode addresses (1MB) and 16 bit data
(+/-32K). 
Types int and long are identical under DJGPP and other protected mode
compilers, whereas types int and short are identical under real mode
compilers.
