At the risk of sounding repetitive.. all of these things have 32-bit 
Win32 ports courtesy of the Cygnus Win32 GCC port. Of course, you'd have 
to have Win95/NT running.. but with the hardware requirements of DJGPP, 
you might as well have 95.. and have symlinks, bash, and longfilenames in 
the bargain..
