I tried to get this working the other day, but the package just wouldn't have it. I think
maybe the DJGPP version hasn't really been maintaned as of late, and has fallen into the
"uncompileable bin". Scitech have released a version that compiles with DJGPP here:
ftp://ftp.scitechsoft.com/devel/beta/  I haven't used it yet, and don't know if it
compiles, but you might as well try.
