It seems to be more complicated than this if people want to use
Objective C. I have been using GCC 2.3.3 (as provided Rami el Charif
- thank you) with DJGPP 1.09 including his libobjc.
I now find that the GCC 2.4.0 binaries will not run with that setup.
I enclose two messages from comp.lang.objective-c which state that
there is a much better runtime for GNU objective C to go with 2.4.0.
I wonder, is anybody porting it to DJGPP?

Beta releases of the GNU Objective C Collection library is available
from iesd.auc.dk:/pub/ObjC/libcoll-SOME_DATE.tar.z
This library contains NeXT compatible implementations of List,
HashTable and Storage, but the primary content is a Smalltalk like
collection library including Set, Bag, Dictionary, LinkedList,
LinkList, Array, CircularArray, GapArray, Stack, Queue,
MappedCollector and DelegateList. All classes handle both simple
types and objects in the style of NeXT's HashTable.
As of now it should not be considered stable for production use, but
we'd surely like any kind of input on it. It will get much better if
*you* help.

John> Thank you for this information. One question:
John> Is this designed to work with GCC 2.3.3 or only with GCC 2.4.0?
It is implemented for gcc 2.4.x. I have rewritten the runtime for GNU
Objective C runtime completely since 2.3.3, and no one should really
use 2.3.3 for anything, that runtime numerous bugs, and is incomplete.
The 2.4.x GNU Objective C supports many new features including
protocols and archiving. The upcomming GNU Bulletin (june 93)
lists all the new features.
