No, I was just making a point. It's a silly app, CFunge, a "fast" Befunge98 interpreter written in C99/POSIX. The point was that he brags about POSIX yet uses things like mmap() which aren't in older POSIX standards, hence DJGPP is out by default. Basically, he uses mmap() for simplicity and efficiency, I think. He's definitely NOT interested in DJGPP, though, so even if I was able to patch it, he won't integrate changes. (There are other B98 interpreters, including original / official "fbbi", which DJGPP happily accepts. I just thought having one more couldn't hurt, heh.)
