The only thing you need to run DJGPP-compiled program (except
the program itself) is the go32.exe extender sitting somewhere
on your PATH.  The program won't run if it can't find go32.exe,
because it can't switch the CPU to protected mode and run on
top of 16-bit, real-mode DOS without go32 helping it.  In DJGPP
v2.0, go32.exe will go32 away (pun intended), and you will only
need a DPMI server, but that dream is still a few months away.
