Hi,

Here is something I am curious about.   I've written the same program
for both DJGPP and linux gcc compiler.  The code is compatible for
both OS's.  However I notice that the compile time using gcc is
shorter than DJGPP.  I know both compilers run under protected mode.
Is it something to do with the DOS file system?  Or perhaps linux's
caching ability?  I'm not using smartdrive (that comes with ms-dos) at
the moment, would you recommend that I use this with DJGPP?

Cheers.
Glenn.
