Thanks for the statistics. I would have bet
that XP is the most popular "DOS" around.
One simply cannot beat the combination of
a console window doing DJGPP in combination
with all the amenities of a modern OS - unless
DOS specific features and compatibility are
desired.

In my case it is just number crunching and
my GUI is called "Courier New". If I wanted
to wait for MingW to get their GCC 4.0 ready,
I'd have to wait forever. Therefore - applause
again to the DJGPP team!
