To set the record straight, from http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/why.html:

	"DJGPP is a 32-bit program development system."

> Most intros I have read about DJGPP, refer to it as "DJ Delorie's
> port of the GCC compiler to MSDOS". So I guess that in all fairness
> DJGPP is a compiler. The description of DJGPP as merely a "library",
> tends not to be a fair description or a complete view of DJGPP IMHO.
