David: 
  I have the same problems with following the code.
  I wanted to use djgpp to compile the DOS source compiler
  because I did not want to use watcom's LE format instead
  PE format. Well I compiled the djgpp source and found it
  was too slooow. If you remove the special macros to speed
  it up then djgpp won't work. So I look and find that exu
  is using GCC which is the SAME compiler so my question is
  why isn't DJGPP setup to run the same way as GCC. Rob
  told me all I need to do is play around with the macros.
  So I started going through the code and adjusting the macros
  and after hours and days of going over the code I am still
  crashing my system. I guess I thought the source would be
  well documented and easy to modify but I was wrong.
  I guess it would be easier to understand if I had spent
  10 years writing and compiling the code.
  At least I'm learning some things.
