Okay, one comment and two questions:

Comment:  I love DJGPP.  People pay hundreds of dollars for commercial products
that are this good and this completed.

Question 1:  This may be an "RTFM" question, but I read the info in "info" and
I still don't quite understand how to get colors when I do "ls" or "dir".  
(I've got DJGPP on an NT box at work and a W2K box at home, but not on the
W98 box yet.)  My Unix box at work has a nice color "ls" and I'd love to have
the same capability in Win/DOS.

Question 2:  Why so much spam on a comp.* newsgroup?  I frequent an alt.*
newsgroup that gets very little spam.  It caught me by surprise that a comp.*
group would have more than an alt.* group. (I'ts not your fault; I'm just 
curious.)
