Hey Jon ^_^
I bit the bullet and fixed everything up. Hopefully Joel will be able
to get Eternity compiling with the latest DJGPP. I plan on upgrading
my own setup before the next beta release so I can personally address
any issues as they arise.
I was just peeved and looking to tangle the other day and shouldn't
have come by here in such a mood. I said things I regret, but at least
I apologized, eh?
