Do we need 16-bit stuff though for 64-bits? We need 16-bit stuff for *DOS*... Win7 64-bit still has console windows, yes? DJGPP produces an 32-bit executable in COFF and then stubs it with a 16-bit stub. So, the 32-bit executable should be able to run in whatever "console" window is still available in Windows with a working loader (COFF) or the correct executable format (PE ... ?). If DJGPP produced a 64-bit executable, with the proper stub or loader, it should be able to execute 64-bits. However, then DJGPP is moving into Cygwin or Mingw Windows C compiler territory, away from DOS and Windows "console" ... Rod Pemberton
