Hi,
   Well, I guess I was bored or something the other night. You know
when you're half awake but solving problems in your head? Well, for
whatever reason I started thinking about what DJGPP should stand for
(besides the obvious droll current meaning):

DJ Got People Programming
DJ's GNU POSIX Platform
DOS Just Got Pretty Powerful
DPMI Joining GNU POSIX Portability
Delivering Justified GNU Ports Periodically
DOS Joining GNU Programming Philosophy

Okay, so this isn't programming related, but I felt the need to
share.   ;-)
