You seem to be getting a lot of this lately. Just thought I should let you all know I still appreciate the work being done! Unfortunately I don't have spare time to help out with DJGPP, and any attempt to delve into the sources has had my head spinning violently :) I don't have much experience with _huge_ projects. I try and put back in by answering questions on the NG when I can and by releasing toolkits for free like C-Desktop and BlasterLib (which will be out Real Soon Now (TM) :) So, three cheers to Eli and all the DJGPP development team!!!
