Yes, DJGPP *must* go somewhere. Although DOS is pretty good OS, one day it
will die. (e.g. MS will discontinue its support in Windows). No, I don't
say - "DOS is
dead!" I'm just afraid that someday it can happen. And I don't want to see
DJGPP
 that day still stuck with DOS. The danger is there - just remember
discussion there
about moving from COFF to ELF object format. If we would make DJWIN as
Michael
said, then we must start from porting DJGPP to Win API. No, we must start
from
putting all DOS'isms - COFF'isms - etc'isms in one place.
