Hi,

I have found djgpp to work quite well under W2K with the W2K patch.  It only
seems to crash on programs that I did not recompile.  It is a royal pain to
setup though because you have to rebuild everything you use from sources.
It seems like some things only build well under DOS, and others only build
well under Win9X, so I had to do a lot of stuff to get everything I wanted
built.  It will be great when the fix is put in and all the packages are
rebuilt so they can just be downloaded and installed.

Thanks,
Mark
