1. I've gotten so used to djgpp under DOS.
2. Thinking maybe I'll have problems.

DJ: Would I get the same quality and trouble-freeness if I ran DJGPP and
it's associated
programs and utilities exclusively with Linux? Hey that would be great!!! I
just assumed
the best way would be to only use Linux for the GUI and online interfaces
and stick with
DOS for C.

Honestly, I don't have a reason from experience. Are some of the DJGPP
programmers
using DOSEMU with success? I just assumed they were experimenting with it.

Please advise.
