Hey, nice document. It reads well, though it got a bit long for me, 
but then, I'm tired and I want to go home:)

The analogy with the violin maker was good, but I felt it may have 
been a tad long.

I thought the number of references to Quake were amusing, and I liked 
the mis-quote about Quake being built in a day. I always find a mild 
sense of humor makes a document easier to read.

I would say that the length of the violinist section is my only 
critisism, and the "Orientation FAQ" should definitly become a part 
of the standard DJGPP documentation.

Now, how to get the newbies to read it? That's always the hardest 
part.  I guess it needs a much more eye chatcing name. "msorf" 
wouldn't stick out enough, IMHO.

Great work!
Bill
