> Why "MS-DOS" ?

Because I said so.  It doesn't support the Win32 API, or SVR4, or
whatnot.  It supports MS-DOS.

> MS-DOS is dead.

Funny, mine still works.

They use the MS-DOS emulation in Windows.

> What Targets does DJGPP support ?

MS-DOS.  If you have an MS-DOS emulator or simulator, like freedos,
dosemu, or windows, most djgpp programs run under that also.


> Will DJGPP support DOS/32A one day ?

If DOS/32A supports DPMI, it already does.  If not, it will when
DOS/32A supports DPMI.
