looksie, every C compiler will output OS dependant code IF you call
functions in the OS. that is like, DUH. if you call printf, you need
DOS. if you do x=y+z you don't need DOS. see the difference?
you won't have any problem in DJGPP unless you use DOS code, and you
will have problems in any C compiler if you do use DOS code.
