I do not know of any compiler whit the support that this newsgroup offers.
My experience is that no matter how complex a problem appears to you (me),
there is always someone to answer it in this newsgroup.

Now try THAT with any commercial compiler. This is a really GOOD reason to
stick with DJGPP. Believe me because I have been exactly in the position
where you seem to be right now.
