I use djgpp in one case because it gets around the 64Kbyte segment
limit.   I know I could have done it in Microsoft C, with huge pointers and
other kludges,  but it was so much faster and easier to code when I didn't
have to worry about that junk.

djgpp is great, keep up the good work DJ !

My  only complaint is that the libgrx package doesn't work with 386max.
(DMPI is the problem, I assume)
