My 2 c:
I have available DJGPP/Windows'95, Linux and Gnu C/Sun.
And since I installed Linux, I develop everything under Linux and just
recompile under the other systems.  

Windows '95 is just to unstable for my taste. Furthermore, with
Linux I usually several virtual consoles open.
At this moment I have 2 open with emacs, 1 with mail, and 2 with
Netscape. It's so nice to, while compiling, do a CTR-left and read my
e-mail, or CTRL-right and read dilbert with Netscape.

Now, If I can just get that cross-compiler working so I do not have to
reboot to recompile with DJGPP.
