Subject:	is emm386 supported in version 1.06

i am trying to run groff, which was built with version 1.06 of djgpp.
i have himem.sys and emm386, with noems set, in my config.sys, as
indicated below. i get the following error when i try to run any
of the groff code (troff, pic) or go32:

	cpu must be in real mode (not v86 mode) to run this program

the readme.1st file for djgpp says

	Supported: 80386, 80387, 80486, XMS, himem.sys, VCPI, QEMM, 386MAX,
	DesqView, Windows, OS/2, interrupts.

it does not say that emm386 is supported. i have the following questions:

- is emm386 supported in the latest rev of djgpp? if so, is the noems
option supported?

- if emm386 is supported w/o noems, then what are the consequences 
to windows if noems is not used?

- does someone know of a version of groff that is compiled under a 
newer version of djgpp?

thanks,
