OK, I've got several questions I REALLY want to know about:
-Can I use Turbo C++ 3.0 DOS libs with djgpp? If so how?
-What's a good graphics/games library for djgpp (that's free)?
-Is there anything special I should know about for using the DJGPP XLib
port?
-How do I access video memory? I don't know how to create a pointer to
it, like I used to with MK_FP(0xA000,0)
-Will programs with the old keyword far, like in unsigned char far *,
still compile?
-How do I access the XMS? With malloc()? Or some other special way? If
so how?
-Are there any books on DJGPP and it's ilk, or something I can apply to
DJGPP?
That's about it. I'm not a professional programmer, so I might be asking
more questions like these. Also, are there any IDEs out? Where can I
get them(other than Rawhide, which I like, but I'm exploring all my
options :) ).
Any help you can give me would be GREATLY appreciated! :)
