Yes, I understand the differences between windows and dos applications
(exe-structure, managing memory etc.). I can imagine how complex and
different are both gcc versions. But I just tought that DJGPP could
become something similiar to older Borland C++ compilers (e.g. Borland
C++ 3.1 had both windows 3.11 & dos support, latter versions probably
supported win95 too).
