I've been looking at producing a 32-bit version using the DJGPP compiler.[*]
however I don't understand what the myriad of command-line switches mean

CFLAGS= -w -w-par -a -d -f- -A- -G- -O -Z -DMSDOS -Ff=1024

 -O == optimize ?
 -D == define MSDOS
 -Ff == far handling [not needed]

I suspect some of the others modify alignment of data within structs, would
anyone like to provide a decode of the switches.

the flag /C is passed to lib, I assume this means create a library.
