This is a mistake.  I was not the originator of this thread, it was 
somebody else who said that BC is much buggier than GCC.  Then Dan 
replied that Borland fix their bugs very fast.  To that I replied that in 
my experience their bug-fixing speed sucks.  Then all hell broke on me ;-)

I didn't say that.  Check the mail archives, you will see that I neither 
gave birth to this thread, nor said that GCC is the cleanest compiler 
I've seen.  I only expressed opinions on the quality of support and ease 
of fixing bugs with DJGPP as opposed to BC.  I stand up to that opinion.
