> When is version 2.0 of DJGPP due out, or if it is, where is it?

It is in development, due 1Q95 (we hope).  A lot of things still need to be 
done to make it a releasable product.  The core design is very stable
product, it is all of the little things (and a few big ones) that need
to be ironed out.

A good rule to apply as far as V2:  If your current app runs under
Win 3.1, it should run under V2 without problems.

If your app does not run under Win 3.1, it should be changed to do so
in preparation for V2.

The only known problems with DJGPP under DPMI (ie Win3.1) are FPU
emulation, graphics, profiling, and some keyboard /mouse handling.
I think these are all being addressed in V2 (already done or planned).

Linear access to a virtual SVGA buffer at 0xd0000000 disappears, sorry,
unless someone wants to work on a DPMI extension to support this.
