Unfortunately i think DOS is a thing of the past. As much as i don't like it, i think the future is in Windows programming. Windows programming can only be taken serious, if we use a programming tool specially designed for Windows (wich DJGPP isn't). For this reasons, i'm gonna abandon DJGPP and starting using Visual C++ or Borland C++. This is my last message to this newsgroup, so i want to thank all the people that helped me, by awsering to my stupid questions that i posted (specially Eli Zarestkii for the emails that he send me) I have learned a lot with this experience. I have learned about protected mode programming, DPMI and other stuff that i think are very important concepts and that every programmer should know. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------- I wan't to congratulate DJ Delorie for he's great work with DJGPP, and all the people that help him developing and documenting DJGPP. Sorry about living you guys, but you know: if you can't beat them, join them! Keep up the good work... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------- Thank's and Goodbye to the DJGPP group...
