Hi!

I would like to know how difficult it would be to add support for
64-bit file operations to DJGPP. I suppose that DJGPP currently only
handles 32-bit file operations internally; is this assumption correct?
If yes, it would be necessary to extend the internal file handling
routines of DJGPP to 64 bit before any attempt to add support for new
APIs could be made.

Is anyone currently working on this, or has been working on this
before? If yes, I would be interested in his assessment. If not, what
would be a good starting point?

Regards,

Udo
