Q: OK, I've got the docs and have read them, but I still can't figure
out some details.
A: Some ported packages include DJGPP-specific or MSDOS-specific
README files (named README.dj, README.dos or some
such), which explain DOS-specific issues; you should read them before
any serious use of the package, or in case of any problems. If this
doesn't help, download the sources and look there, or ask on the
net--either the DJGPP News group or appropriate GNU News groups.
