   Agreed...but there doesn't seem to be a good place to look...

   Why don't we put them in simtel/djgpp?

'cause they aren't even GO32 apps, half the time, and because there
are multiple versions of both DJGPP and GNUish ports, as well as lots
of ad-hoc ones.

Pointers belong in the FAQ, if you ask me.  One of those days I'll
write it up.  Those of you who know my track record on writing up FAQs
have already started praying somebody else will do it, I bet.  But if
you can wait that long, one of these days....
