DJGPP apps work under xp mode in windows 7 64-bit.
if the djgpp apps run, then the compiler should also run as well.
so yay! I can get a 64-bit box with lots of memory. to what were you
referring, Aitor?

Windows7 x86 does. Windows7 x64 does not (but I guess the main
reason is that a processor on x64 mode does emulate 32-bit but not
16-bit.
The worst problem is that what happens to Jim may be happening to many
others, as many hardware vendors include by default the x64 version
(not the x86). In my experience, I have requested if they would
replace the x64 version with the x86, and usually refuse to do it.
Regards,
Aitor
