DJ's mail bounced and this is of moderate interest to all you guys and
gals using GCC on DOS. Those of you who aren't in that predicament, press
'n'

1. The VCPI stuff works great (except for note 2) BUT you have to let
QEMM be an EMS server, or it doesn't.  If you're like me, and haven't thought
of a reason yet to use expanded memory, you've set up QEMM with the NOEMS
switch.  That won't work with DJGPP.  Hope that saves you a few nanoseconds.

2. You can run GCC compiled programs under DesqView, but I found that if I
tried to run two at once, my 386SX does a cold boot. Can you say double
fault, boys and girls? Sure ya can!

DJ if you're out there, give me a better path to your mail machine of choice.

The workaround for both of these minor problems is to don't do something if
it doesnt work ;-)
