This wouldn't be djgpp-specific, except to say try to reduce the
number of system calls you make (like open, time, etc) because those
are slower in djgpp than in other systems.

Look in <dpmi.h> for a number of such functions.  Avoid the ones
marked "1.0" as Windows won't support them.

Windows doesn't support that feature in the memory model DJGPP uses.

gcc 2.8.1 is the latest version for djgpp, but egcs 1.1.2 is also
available in v2gnu/egcs/

Type "gcc -v" to see what version you have.
