Just a side not, DJGPP is not a compiler but a port of many (GNU) tools
to DOS.  The superior compiler you are reffering to is the widely
use/available GNU C.

Of course I'm not taking the ligth off the incredebile work done by
djgpp(ians,ers ?), How do you call a djgpp dev. ? Au contraire
the porting was certainly not easy.
