I've been using DJGPP for nearly a year now, and I have very few 
complaints (the only things I'd like changed have to do with GNU 
C/C++, not DJGPP).

I do have a question about DJGPP 2.x, though.  I understand that the 
new version is supposed to make things more "plug-and-play," 
particularly with regard to memory drivers and such, but I'm not an 
expert on high memory access under MSDOS and would appreciate it if 
someone could give me a brief overview of the situation and how DJGPP 
makes things better.  Any takers?
