Then I'm really missing the point here. What precisely is the difference
between djgpp and cygwin? Other than the included cwsdpmi that allows for
running compiled (32-bit!) code in a native DOS environment?

I don't think I need to admit that I don't know much about djgpp. :}  I set
it up once at home for a hobby project, discovered there was no native
support for a function critical to that project (gethostbyname()) and
switched to cygwin instead. I've used djgpp at work for only one project
since, which was a utility that needed to run in DOS, to change the NetBIOS
name of a Windows machine (a simple enough program that I didn't need to
crack open the manual on djgpp itself). Thanks for pointing out the obvious
to the obnoxious newbie. ;}

Now to reply to that other post about DOS superiority... >B}
