DJGPP runs in NT4 correct? Win2000 is just NT5 so what's the big problem? Has anyone who is a Win2000 beta tester actually tried running DJGPP? Reading the bottom "announcement" that Win2000 will "not support dos" I think someone misread or misquoted MS. I think what MS means by "not support dos" is only that you can't upgrade from dos. You can only upgrade to Win2000 if you have Win 3.1/9x. comments?
