I just want to say thanks to all who have contributed to this project, 
especially DJ Delorie.

DJGPP saved my (commercial) software project from certain failure. 
Without getting into details, my original software was written for 
Linux, but at the last minute (and I mean close to the deadline) a 
management decision (out of my control) was made to port the code to DOS 
on PC-104, but with the same project deadline!! This would normally have 
been an impossible task given the amount of code that would have had to 
be rewritten. But thanks to DJGPP, a minimal amount of code was 
rewritten. This essentially saved the project from certain failure.

Again, thanks DJ Delorie and everyone who has contributed to this project.

Jason
