There were never a 16-bit version of DJGPP.  DJGPP started as a 32-bit
protected-mode environment, so it was never capable to run on anything below
i386.

It might be that both you and the people who the OP was citing were talking
about djasm (which can produce 16-bit code) or DJ Delorie's unfinished
project whereby he wrote a 16-bit linker.  But these are not DJGPP.
