This section doesn't seem to answer the question as I interpreted it,
which is one I also wanted to ask from a position of some DOS
ignorance. Can I try to rephrase it?
Is the djgpp C ABI known to be compatible with any common proprietary
compiler/extender system modulo obj->coff, or is this not a sensible
question? Specifically, if I want to use a library (one for a data
acquisition card in this case) that has a choice of bindings not
including djgpp, am I screwed? Is it possible that I can obj->coff
and link against one intended for some other 32-bit C compiler system
-- some variation on Borland, Microsoft, Watcom or whatever?
