Just a little follow up, there are improvements that could be made to this
program and I am willing to collaborate with anyone who would like to help
program the improvements.  Source code is available and the maintainer of
the site from which you can download DFE has assured me that all error free
improvements will be considered.  Currently, the only improvements I can see
that make sense would be to have the program line numbers shown in the
programming window and also the addition of syntax color coding (these two
improvements would make DFE the undeniable choice as the best IDE for DJGPP
programming).

Thanks,

David Oppenheimer
