An obsolete program used only by DJGPP version 1, which is itself
obsolete and unsupported. DJGPP version 2 does not use it.

DJGPP compiled programs include only a 2k stub, which does nothing
more than copy the program into protected mode and runs it. The rest
of the DJGPP runtime relies on DPMI services of the operating system
(Win95, DOSEMU, etc). There is no external extender.
