To be exact, DJGPP compiles 32bit code. It uses cwsdpmi extender to run
the code under protected DPMI 0.9 mode (like Watcom uses DOS4GW
extender). To run DJGPP programs under windows, cwsdpmi is not needed,
as windows is in protected mode. Real mode 16bit programs can be built
with Borland C/C++ compiler (version less than 3.x) or with Turbo C
compiler or tools like that.
