Re OS/2, *I* myself haven't tried djgpp under os2, but my friend
successfully played Quake on his OS/2 system.  The only problem we had
was getting the serial port to work (he brought his machine to my place
so we could have a co-op game), but that was just a matter of setting
some options in the properties box (or whatever it's called, been too
long since I actually used OS/2 (3 years)).

VERY zippy. Love that runtime array sizing. eg

void foo(int size)
{
    int bar[size];
    ....
}
