From any commercial vendor is wishful thinking.  Maybe you'll get
lucky, but the profit is in supporting Windoze.
    Quarterdeck has a certain amount of interest in doing it right,
since the more stuff gets ported to DV/X, the better for them, and
looks like half the time DJGPP does it without any changes that aren't
*driven by working under DOS*.  Ie, all other compilers have to do
these, *plus compiler-specific stuff*.  (Unless they're already a
major cross-platform environment.  Even then, I bet GCC is the
biggest.)
