PROTOIZE (and its reciprocal, UNPROTOIZE) is an optional product of
building GCC.  DJ chose to not build it, so it isn't in the DJGPP
distribution.  Several months ago I pulled its source from GCC 2.5.8
distribution on GNU ftp site and ported it to DJGPP.  You can find
the source and the compiled executable on omnigate.clarkson.edu,
directory pub/msdos/djgpp/pub, file proto258.zip.  It was compiled
with DJGPP 1.11, so you should at least replace its stub with that
of 1.12 (don't know how? here: exe2coff protoize.exe; coff2exe protoize).
I would suggest to recompile the program from scratch (the zip file
includes Makefile and the full source), because the djgpp/lib directory
path is built into the binary at compile time, and yours is most
probably different from mine.  If you do recompile, check carefully
the djgpp/lib path building by Makefile, because it was done when
the LIBRARY_PATH was always in the environment, and nowadays it is
inside djgpp.env file; you might be in for some tweaking of my
Makefile here.  (Alternatively, you could change that path directly
in the source.)

If you have any trouble compiling or using the programs, please
let me know.
