Although I am a DJGPP fan, I think that the above is a load of bullsh!t
and it has to be the worst and most illogical statement from you that I
have seen since I joined this list.
I can list hundreds of popular games that were done with Watcom after
DJGPP 2 was out...what about Command and Conquer, What about Need for
Speed..the Famous games in the Crusader no regret series used the PharLap
extender...Origin used Watcom...the list is endless and I don't want to
bore you...while the solitary achievement for DJGPP is only Quake.
Please give a balanced view.
IMHO DJGPP 1 wasn't as bad as you seem to think...your statement suggests
that it wasn't a decent 32-bit compiler at that time?
