   Here is a question of the day. Anybody is still using $Echo_tag for exotic OS   
   like mentioned in the $Subj line?   
      
   The question comes from the current official/unofficial maintainers of GoldED+   
   who eager to finally drop backward compatibility with that old shit. We would   
   like to have at least -std=c++11 as a minimum requirement, so we can actually   
   ditch those memset()/memcpy() pre-C++ era expressions here and there in the   
   code. Well, the rationale behind this idea is that if you are still excited   
   about that authentic DOS experience then go ahead and f..ur slf and use the   
   original Mr. Sorensen s/w and not the plus one.   
      
   There are currently three ancient platforms that bother us.   
   M$ DOS DJGPP, OpenWatcom C++   
   OS/2 GCC, OpenWatcom
