Please hold your temper; IMHO you are being unreasonably harsh to
people who try to help you.

Try this way of looking at your situation: you are asking for a free
help.  When you do that, it is not nice to call the responses
``nonsense''.  After all, someone might think that your messages are
``nonsense'' as well.  And yet they still try to help you.

Telling you that there are more appropriate forums for this kind of
questions is also a kind of help: the most efficient help can be
received from people who know the most about the problem.  The fact
that the program is compiled with DJGPP and segfaults does not
necessarily make it a DJGPP-specific problem.  The segfaults might be
only a symptom, not the problem.

If you don't like some of the replies, simply ignore them.  A news
group is a wrong place to educate people.  (It is, however, a good
place to educate yourself ;-)
