...that Microsoft is committed to making compliant with standards for
DOS programs.  WinDPMI has always leaked selectors, and WinDPMI 2000
has bugs that prevent Make.exe from working properly at all.  This is

Search the DJGPP mail archives for threads about "Is DOS dead?" and
"has officially killed DOS" or something like that.

Anyway, though MS-DOS may die, DOS will survive:
