Whilst I : think that the djgpp compiler is great, I would like to know why it is : so slow to compile and link a program compared to Borland. I mean MUCH : slower.

I have a "gdb" and a "gdb-dpmi" file in my : "bin" directory. They are not .exe files and do not seem to work with : go32 either. : Thanks! : Mike B. : mrb@robots.ox.ac.uk GCC is a memory hog! If you have not got much, it runs like a pig. I have 12Mb with a 4Mb disk cache and it flies! Simon Greenaway
