Hello list,

I noticed very positive movements recently on this list, making me think 
that a new version of DJGPP could appear in some near future, which 
would be great :)

If I may suggest one pretty small problem (but very frustrating) that 
could be fixed in the newest DJGPP:

The current GCC.EXE compiler crashes horribly when the environment 
variable "DJGPP" is not set. This variable is supposed to point to the 
djgpp.env file, and I understand it's necessary. However, it would be 
*really* nice if gcc could simply output an error message saying that 
this variable needs to be set, and what it needs to point to, instead of 
crashing with a page fault.

cheers,
Mateusz
