      ^^^^^

Here's the culprit already.  Yes, DJGPP produces 32-bit PM code.  So
does my SGI's gcc.  That doesn't mean that they produce a Windows 95
executable.  DJGPP produces a *dos* program.  Even though it's a
32-bit protected mode dos program, it's still a dos program.

DOS programs just don't have access to all the nifty $pecial feature$
of Win95.
