I can't compile C++ programs with DJGPP under DOSEMU because it doesn't support LFN... :( And well, I've configured DPMI. I've hacked dosemu.conf and I tried several different DOSEMU versions - from 0.97 to 1.02 (yes, 1.02 is out now :). And DOSEMU time to time crashes with DPMI programs, especially with DPMI16 and dos4gw... :( The most stable DOSEMU version was 0.98.something (I don't remember now :) but it is buggy anyway... And well, DOSEMU works good with DJGPP programs (if LFN isn't needed). I don't like Windows :) but I have no choice if I need to compile some C++ program with DJGPP...
