   I can't compile C++ programs with DJGPP under DOSEMU because it doesn't
support LFN... :(
   And well, I've configured DPMI. I've hacked dosemu.conf and I tried
several different DOSEMU versions - from 0.97 to 1.02 (yes, 1.02 is 
out now :). And DOSEMU time to time crashes with DPMI programs, especially
with DPMI16 and dos4gw... :( The most stable DOSEMU version was 0.98.something
(I don't remember now :) but it is buggy anyway...
   And well, DOSEMU works good with DJGPP programs (if LFN isn't needed).
   I don't like Windows :) but I have no choice if I need to compile some
C++ program with DJGPP...
