Hi, just one last letter to thank you for all the help and trouble
you've
gone to providing assistance. Luckily It has been decided by my managers

that I am no longer; required to build the source files and I can
just use the pre-compiled versions. I have set everything up and it
seems
to be working smoothly (this is a much simpler way of doing things and
the documentation is much more detailed and straight forward, I think it

only took me 5 minutes and I've never been more happy since I've been
fighting
for this since the beginning).

Also I am already aware that djgpp will not help me with the other
operating
systems this is only a small part of the testing and this explains why
I was so frustrated with spending over a week attempting to perform a
build
in the dos system when it will only be a small part of all the testing.

snip...

Also, DJGPP's library pulls some tricks to make DOS/Windows look more
Posix-like, and some of these tricks might affect your testing.;
You will need to make sure that the features you are testing indeed
characterize gcc and the target OS and not the DJGPP library internals.

This statement concerns me. Can you explain a little more in detail?
I will be removing myself from the list but you should still have my
address.
Anyway again let me say thank you and for now on I'll leave the building

of source files to the experienced Computer Scientists, I'll just stick
to what I know (which isn't much when you're just a measly Engineering
student).
