  What parts of programs compiled by djgpp tend to malfunction or crash under
Windoze 95?
  Any idea why?, or is that only known to whatever alien Microsoft seems to
have hired from Area 51 to write Windows 95 for them?

  In Windows 3.1 / 3.1.1, does the `MSDOS' icon's PIF also apply when I call a
DOS .EXE from the FIle Manager or call it in the Run line?

  What sort of PIF settings does an ordinary-sized program compiled by djgpp
need when called from in Windows?
