Maybe this is a good time to jump in to this newsgroup for the first
time and express my thanks.  I discovered djgpp just recently and
installed it on my Macintosh (!) [under the VirtualPC pentium emulator].
When I got the faq I was amazed.  It's a BOOK!  134 pages!  And FULL of
information.  As a guy to whom a lot of this stuff is new, and who has
had to learn fast, I can say that the FAQ is wonderful and an excellent
job of presenting what a person really needs to know.

I printed it out on my HP LaserJet, bound it in a nice three-ring
binder, and spent several days reading it constantly.  It still sits on
the shelf beside me and is invaluable.

I wouldn't know how you could improve it, but you certainly couldn't
improve it by subtracting information.  That hard-won information is
what it's all about.

Great job.

Thanks.
