Look Dim, I understand your point, and I use plain DOS, but you must take in 
count that the whole world is moving to Loose '95. I think that's bad for many 
reasons, but is a fact. 
From the other hand the task to develope a C program to run under Loose is a 
complex task. A simple program that takes 10 Allegro lines can be over than 100 
lines coded for Windows.
I think we must find what things makes collitions and at least put warnings on 
the use of these things. 
I think that isn't a high priority task for the djgpp developers but we must 
care about it. Specially about Loose '95 because it have much more users than 
DOS or Win NT.
