True, but all that is available is the merged executable generated from an old
version of pbmplus compiled with an old version of djgpp (1.02 I think).
Because that version of djgpp was from the pre-vcpi days, if you want to use
pbmplus, you have to reboot your computer without all your memory manager
stuff. This is a pain! Also, you have to continuously rename the binary to get
the function you want. Double pain! What I'd really like to see is a set of
diff files that can be applied so that when a new version of pbmplus or djgpp
comes out, it's not a big deal recompiling pbmplus. I like having the
individual tools, I just throw away the ones I don't use, so I'd really like
to be able to recompile it myself. I just don't have time to do the porting.
If someone is interested in doing it, please do. I'll volunteer as a
alpha/beta tester if that will help.
