Many PC users require the system to run Windows-386 and other extended-memory applications. The Gnu-C port uses its own extended-memory model, as I recall, which makes applications which use it incompatible with a variety of other packages. Could someone more familiar with the technical aspects of this write something up about it? I'm curious as to which extended-memory applications are likely to be compatible with djgpp. -rich
