[For those of you who don't speak any French at all: he's asking
whether DJGPP works well on Win ME, so he can decide whether it's
worth trying to install it].
[Eric: I'll answer in English, for the benefit of all the others going
to read this...]
DJGPP works in ME, but not as completely as on Win9x or 'real' DOS.
It almost seems like MS has a secret plan to subvert all efforts of
making DOS a useable platform for this kind of work: they keep
introducing new strange bugs in their DOS and DPMI services with every
new release of an OS. Currently, this means both Win ME and Win 2000
can run DJGPP and the programs it generates, but have some bad little
quirks doing so.
