Hi yourself.  DJGPP really blazes in a DOS window in Win95.  Much faster
than under
DOS itself.  I presume it is because Win95 DPMI services are MUCH better
than cwsdpmi.
Just a hunch.  Simple "hello world" programs take 10 seconds or so to
compile under
DOS and about a second in a Win95 DOS window.

How to get it to work?  Install it according to the instructions:  Find
out which .zip
files you need.  Put them all into a new directory (C:\DJGPP).  From
that directory,
run 'pkunzip -d *.zip' and it installs itself.  Now 'del *.zip'.  Now in
your autoexec.bat
add two lines: 
	PATH=DJGPP\BIN;%PATH%
	SET DJGPP=C:\DJGPP\DJGPP.ENV

Give the three-finger-salute (Ctrl+Alt+Del) and when you get the C:\>
prompt again
you're in business.
