Well, I'm going to finally move away from my Win95, Pentium
233 Mhz Computer. I'm getting a WinXP-based system. I've
read a lot of different things that say that DJGPP-compiled
programs won't run on computers that run Windows XP. Why
is this? Is there any way to run them without having to 
install another OS? An emulator or something? I've even read
that DOOM runs very poorly.

What about DJGPP development on WinXP? Is there a chance that
a new DJGPP version (that supports WinXP) will be released?
If not, does this mean that DJGPP will be useless in a
few years? 

*I apologize if my questions seem stupid. I'm not too
knowledgable about these things.*

Thanks,
diritolx...
