It sounds like you are recommending Cygwin, yes?  I just recently downloaded
DJGPP so I have no real affinity for it yet.  I read the Cygwin FAQ so I
have a sense for their differences.  I had the impression that executables,
like gnuchess, built with DJGPP would run faster than those built under
Cygwin.  Is that incorrect?
