I'm trying to run djgpp under the latest release of drdos (just acquired
from caldera's ftp site) on a 486 laptop with 8 Meg of memory.  I've
disabled native dpmi support, set the disk cache as I've seen suggested (2
meg) and have cwsdpmi available.

A simple C++ program (well, uses list<> and string, maybe not so simple)
takes over ten minutes to compile.  Is this hardware configuration just
not usable, or am I missing something in my software configuration?  

If you have djgpp running under drdos on similar hardware, could you email
me your config files?  Suggest straight MSDOS? Or feel free to tell me I
wasted a C-note on this old laptop...

Thanks,
